Zooniverse.org is an online platform that enables ordinary people to contribute to scientific research and discoveries. Launched in 2007, it hosts numerous projects spanning various fields such as astronomy, biology, climate, and humanities. By engaging citizen scientists in tasks like annotating images or classifying data, Zooniverse harnesses the collective power of volunteers to analyze huge datasets and carry out research that would be impractical for a small team of scientists. This innovative approach has led to remarkable achievements, including the discovery of new planets, the identification of galaxies, and the understanding of wildlife populations. Zooniverse.org empowers individuals from all backgrounds to make meaningful contributions to scientific progress.

The P.I. of the Project, Chris Lintott, published a book called "The Crowd & the Cosmos: Adventures in the Zooniverse". "zooniverse."
