[...] Classifying by Amateur Volunteers. Citizen scientists active in this area examine large amounts of data provided by professional astronomers and classify the data for further follow up by the professionals. GalaxyZoo is a great example of a Pro/Am collaboration in this area. GalaxyZoo volunteers studied images of galaxies collected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and then answered questions about the galaxies to aid in classification (e.g., spiral, elliptical, etc.). Large numbers of volunteers helped ensure the results were accurate and there were definitely lots of volunteers. In the first year alone 150,000 citizen scientists provided over 50 million classifications. The most famous GalaxyZoo participant is Hanny van Arkel discoverer of Hanny's Voorwerp. (Hanny was the first person interviewed by Share Astronomy – you can find her interview here: http://shareastronomy.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/hanny-van-arkel-citizen-scientist-extraordinaire/). [...]
