Hi Everyone,
It is with glee that we
announce the brand new Milky Way Project! It’s got more data, more
objects to find, and it’s even more gorgeous. The
original Milky Way Project launched three years ago and since then more
than 50,000 individuals have contributed millions of drawings of
objects in our galaxy. The new MWP is being launched to map data from
different regions of the galaxy in a new infrared wavelength
combination. It’s very exciting! There are tens of thousands of images
from the Spitzer Space Telescope to look through. By telling us what you
see in this infrared data, we can better understand how stars form.

other awesome news:
The Zooniverse has been named as one of six Google
Global Impact Awardees for 2013. This award will allow us to build a
platform that can support hundreds or maybe even thousands of new and
exciting citizen science projects. We’re in good company too: a list of
the awardees can be seen at the Google Global Impact Award site Click Here and you can read the Zooniverse blog Click Here
It means a lot to us at the Zooniverse to have been given this award
and we could not have managed it without you, our volunteers.
So thanks to you, and thanks to Google!
The Zooniverse Team
