A Brand New Milky Way Project by Robert Simpson.

From the post:

Just over three years the Zooniverse launched the Milky Way Project (MWP), my first citizen science project. I have been leading the development and science of the MWP ever since. 50,000 volunteers have taken part from all over the world, and they’ve helped us do real science, including creating astronomy’s largest catalogue of infrared bubbles – which is pretty cool.

Today the original Milky Way Project (MWP) is complete. It took about three years and users have drawn more than 1,000,000 bubbles and several million other objects, including star clusters, green knots, and galaxies. It’s been a huge success but: there’s even more data! So it is with glee that we have announced the brand new Milky Way Project! It’s got more data, more objects to find, and it’s even more gorgeous.

Another great crowd sourced project!

Bear in mind that the Greek New Testament has approximately 138,000 words and 469,000 words in the Hebrew Bible.

The success of the Milky Way and other crowd sourced projects makes you wonder why images of biblical manuscripts aren’t setup for crowd transcription doesn’t it?
