Thanks to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, there are so
many photos of the Moon streaming to Earth that scientists
can't keep up. So Oxford astrophysicist Chris Lintott has set
up a website,
MoonZoo, where anyone can
log in and get trained to review and classify the tens of
thousands of Moon photos. Among other things, participants will
count the number of craters in an image and look for craters
with boulders around the rim. This is the second citizen
science project that Lintott has launched; in 2007 he launched
GalaxyZoo to categorize
images from NASA's
Hubble Space Telescope.
