What this episode covers
Yale's Kevin Schawinski talks about Galaxy Zoo, an online project that calls on ordinary people to review and classify images of distant galaxies. These "citizen scientists" have helped Schawinski and astronomers from other universities make important contributions to our understanding of the cosmos. They've now launched Galaxy Zoo 2, an even more ambitious and in-depth project.
