    • Evolution MegaLab  + (Quote: Enthusiasm for science and the desiQuote: Enthusiasm for science and the desire to share wonder, excitement and relevance of science to everyday life drives our outreach programme. Our aim is to ignite an interest in science in people who have been bored or turned off by the subject in the past. We are fortunate to have a range of staff who are not only scientists, but gifted communicators as well. They provide lecture demonstrations at science fairs and festivals and also contribute to events hosted by primary schools and amateur societies.</br>[http://www.open.ac.uk/science/main/citizen-science/projects Projects page] at Open University.rojects Projects page] at Open University.)

    • Andromeda Project  + (Star clusters are collections of hundreds Star clusters are collections of hundreds to millions of stars that were born at the same time from the same cloud of gas. This shared origin makes star clusters unique tools for understanding how stars form and evolve. Additionally, they are useful for studying the major chapters in the history of galaxies. But before Andromeda's star clusters can unlock these secrets, we need the help of Citizen Scientists to find the clusters. Not just the big bright ones, but the small faint ones as well. This is the goal of the Andromeda Project.This is the goal of the Andromeda Project.)

    • Planet Hunters  + (The Kepler team has been developing computThe Kepler team has been developing computer algorithms to analyze light curve data because it is not possible for them to visually inspect every light curve. While we expect computer programs to robustly identify things that they are trained to find, we are betting that there will be a number of surprises in the data that the computer algorithms will miss.</br>The human brain is particularly good at discerning patterns or aberrations and experiments have shown that when many people work together, the collective wisdom of the crowds can be better than an expert. Planet Hunters is an online experiment that taps into the power of human pattern recognition. Participants are partners with our science team, who will analyze group assessments, obtain follow up observations at the telescope to understand the new classification schemes for different families of light curves, identify oddities, and verify transit signals.tify oddities, and verify transit signals.)

We aim to bring you a host of interesting science problems as time goes by, and to begin with we're looking for bubbles. These bubbles are part of the life cycle of stars. Some bubbles have already been found - by the study that inspired this project - but we want to find more! By finding more, we will build up a comprehensive view of not only these bubbles, but our galaxy as a whole.

Ideally, the data produced by GeoTag-X will therefore be created and delivered in accordance with international practice for easiest use.</br></br></br>The primary aim of GeoTag-X therefore was to develop a system, tools, and methodology for facilitating the harvesting and analysis of photos, and the creation of datasets that could be used by humanitarian organisations in their response to different disasters. In order to be successful in this aim we need to transfer the expertise from knowledgeable individuals to the crowd to give them the skills to be able to:</br></br>1. Identify relevant photos</br></br>2. Conduct detailed analysis of those photos and/or categorise those photos according to simple classification rules to make them accessible and useful to disaster responders</br></br>3.

According to the Galaxy Zoo team : <span style="background-color:#eeeeee" class="citation">“"Galaxies come in very different shapes and have very different properties. they may be large or small, old or young, red or blue, regular or confused, luminous or faint, dusty or gas-poor, rotating or static, round or disky, and they live either in splendid isolation or in clusters. In other words, the universe contains a very colourful and diverse zoo of galaxies. For almost a century, astronomers have been discussing how galaxies should be classified and how they relate to each other in an attempt to attack the big question of how galaxies form." ”</span></br>The classification of images in Galaxy Zoo would help scientists to understand the structure of the universe and determine whether there is anything "fundamentally wrong" with existing galaxy models.ntally wrong" with existing galaxy models.)
