Looking for bars in faraway galaxies
Hi all! My name is Tobias Géron, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto. I've been using Galaxy Zoo for a few years now to study bars in galaxies. Bars seem to be very common structures in the present-day Universe, with roughly half of all disc galaxies having a bar. Bars are also thought to influence their host galaxies in all kinds of fun ways (e.g.

Announcing the Galaxy Zoo JWST project!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Galaxy Zoo JWST project, with ~300,000 galaxy images from the COSMOS-Web survey taken with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)! We now need your help identifying the shapes of these galaxies by classifying them on Galaxy Zoo. These classifications will help scientists answer questions about how the shapes of galaxies have changed over time, and what caused these changes and why.

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. 🔭 🧪

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 English). Thanks to the efforts of volunteer translator @InoSenpai we can now bring Galaxy Zoo to a wider audience of Japanese speakers.

Ellipticals are red
Spirals are blue
Or at least so we thought

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.
