Galaxy Zoo science team virtual meeting this morning - hearing about work towards getting Rubin images ready for classification, and a side project on identifying overlapping galaxies like @ngc3314.bsky.social #astrosci
Thanks for the heads up - fixed for now, but looks ugly. We'll notify @zooniverse.bsky.social that something needs fixing behind the scenes too. :)
Alyssa’s work can currently be seen in Galaxy Zoo, as we classify cutouts of the stunning images she made of the CEERS JWST Survey’s NIRCam pointings. We often make our own images for the project, but hers were so beautifully made that we knew we should use them instead! 🔭
Alyssa Pagan does a lot more than admire stars from afar—she brings distant worlds to life as a science visuals developer with STScI. Pagan transforms dark, monochromatic images into the dazzling displays of light and color seen on computers, phones and TV screens. 🔭 🧪
Alyssa Pagan (B.S. '16, astronomy) brings distant worlds to life as a @spacetelescope.bsky.social science visuals developer.

She takes black and white data from the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes and uses filters to translate those images into color for the visible spectrum. 🧪
Galaxy Zoo in Japanese

この度、Galaxy Zooは日本語でも参加できるようになりました(すでに中国語、フランス語、スペイン語、ハンガリー語、そして英語で利用できます)。ボランティアの翻訳者である @InoSenpai (イノ先輩)に感謝します。これで、本プロジェクトを日本語話者にも広めていけるようになりました。 We're delighted to share that Galaxy Zoo is now available in Japanese (in addition to Chinese, French, Spanish, Hungarian and…

Most of the science team is assembled in Bern this week to work hard on getting the rest of JWST images into the site, and also to do some science with the classifications.
Massive thanks to the Zooniverse team for managing this difficult issue, and now everything is back up we hope you will enjoy better site performance going forward. Thanks again for all the classifications.
All Zooniverse webpages, including Galaxy Zoo are down due to a major system issue. The Zooniverse team are working hard and hope to have this fixed and restored by Sunday.
A classic valentine from longtime volunteer @penguingalaxy.bsky.social
Ellipticals are red
Spirals are blue
Or at least so we thought
Until @galaxyzoo.org

Below: red and blue spiral and elliptical galaxies to illustrate! The first two are the way galaxies are expected to be ...
We are live with images from Euclid! Visit galaxyzoo.org and you might be the first human to ever see the images we need your help with 🔭
You shouldn’t have to revert back to the old system! I think I haven’t filled it out from my office computer. Will check later 😊
Hmm, I will need to find a device I haven’t already filled out the form from! (It’s @vrooje.net )
We love a smooth galaxy whose light started travelling to us when our sun wasn't even a glint in the Milky Way's eye!
A smooth galaxy, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the COSMOS survey.

It is at redshift 0.67 (lookback time 6.33 billion years) with coordinates (149.67716, 2.27221).

This classification was made in the GZ: Hubble project.
