Calling All Citizen Scientists!

NASA is on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers to dive into a spectacular celestial project! The mission? To classify thousands of stunning galaxies captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Why Your Contribution Matters!

Through the Galaxy Zoo initiative, a part of the Zooniverse platform, you can become an essential player in the realm of astronomy. With over 500,000 mesmerizing images available, your insights will help scientists understand how galaxies have changed throughout time, refining our comprehension of the universe's grand evolution.

A Unique Opportunity Awaits!

"This is a fantastic chance to view images from the cutting-edge space telescope!" exclaims Christine Macmillan, a passionate volunteer from Aberdeen, Scotland. "We're seeing galaxies at the edge of the universe for the first time - they are just beginning to form!" It's as simple as signing up and answering a few straightforward questions about the shapes of these incredible galaxies. Anyone aged 10 and up can join in!

Unlocking the Mysteries of the Cosmos!

With JWST’s advanced infrared capabilities, it has opened the cosmic floodgates, unveiling galaxies further away than we ever thought possible. It allows us to glimpse how distant celestial bodies appeared billions of years ago, shining light on the early chapters of galaxy formation and the cosmic events that have molded our universe.

Your Role in the Journey!

Images uploaded to Galaxy Zoo are sorted using a smart AI tool called ZooBot, which pinpoints those that are more user-friendly for classification. Volunteers are guided through a series of questions to help define the shapes, structures, and unique features of the galaxies displayed.

Be Part of Something Cosmic!

"I'm both amazed and honored to be among the first to witness these breathtaking cosmic images!" says Elisabeth Baeten, a volunteer from Leuven, Belgium. "What a privilege!"
