At Redshift Wrangler, anyone with a smartphone or laptop can help clock the expansion of the universe using light from distant galaxies.<\/div>\n

A \u201cclassification\u201d is when a volunteer or citizen scientist finishes marking up or sorting one image or other piece of data. Each classification done by volunteers for the Redshift Wrangler<\/a> project tells us something about the distance and age of a far-away galaxy, bringing us one step closer to understanding how galaxies evolve. These volunteers met a major milestone this week: 200,000 classifications completed!\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all. The Redshift Wrangler project has received over 3,000 comments on Zooniverse talk boards, and has begun preparing a paper on their first batch of 11,000 galaxies. The paper will incorporate data from the DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph (DEIMOS) from NASA\u2019s Keck Observatory Archive, as well as data from the Gemini and Subaru telescopes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNASA\u2019s citizen science is a blessing, as I\u2019ve found the Redshift Wrangler project to be such a rewarding experience,\u201d said project volunteer, Baba Karthik Kalapatapu. \u201cThis project holds special meaning for me, as I had the unforgettable experience of visiting the Mauna Kea observatories, where I watched the Gemini North and Keck telescopes power on at sunset. I never could have imagined that I\u2019d one day be working with data from those very telescopes\u2014an incredible full-circle moment in my journey into understanding the cosmos.\u201d<\/p>\n
