The Citizen Scientists of Stardate: M83

Posted by

Early this year, along with +The Zooniverse folks, we ran a citizen scientist campaign designed to help astronomers get age dating information for star clusters in the galaxy M83 (also known  as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy).

The project was a resounding success, providing astronomers with a plethora of information to help understand the ages of star clusters and their gas content.  Now, we’d like to take time to discuss what some of the more prolific amateur astronomers experienced and to get their insights and advice for doing this kind of science online.

Please join +Tony Darnell, +Carol Christian and others as we discuss the project with the citizen scientists who used it the most.
