Abstract:
In July 2007 we launched www.galaxyzoo.org
which enlisted the public's help in classifying images
of galaxies obtained with a robotic telescope. More
than 30 million images have now been viewed, and the
public are as good at the task as professional
astronomers. I'll review the project, discuss the
first set of science results and look to the future.
