Do your bit for science

And help astronomers classify the billions...and billions of galaxies in our own universe horizon.

Why do we need you?


The simple answer is that the human brain is much better at recognising
patterns than a computer can ever be. Any computer program we write to
sort our galaxies into categories would do a reasonable job, but it
would also inevitably throw out the unusual, the weird and the
wonderful. To rescue these interesting systems which have a story to
tell, we need you.
