Crowdsourcing Whole Galaxies

Dear Galaxy Zoo

We're very happy to report that all of your efforts on
http://www.galaxyzoo.org have produced scientific fruit. Karen Masters
and her team from Portsmouth have submitted the first paper using Zoo
2 data to the journal. The good news is that the results are as
accurate as we've come to expect from you all, but that doesn't mean
you can all relax just yet.

Firstly, we have a queue of new images of galaxies waiting for you,
which will take you deeper into the Universe than ever before. Before
we can release them, though, we need to polish off the last few
remaining classifications from Galaxy Zoo 2. If you have time to go to
http://www.galaxyzoo.org and make just a few extra clicks, it will
help enormously.

Secondly, as we're at the stage where we're about to publish papers
from Zoo 2 we need to make sure we give you, our coauthors and
collaborators, proper credit. We'll be creating a list of people which
will be linked from the author list of any Zoo 2 paper. If you want to
be included, you need to make sure you've filled in the 'Name' in your
profile. You can check this here :

Thanks again for all your clicks; you're making science possible and
helping us learn more about the Universe every time you visit the
site.

Chris and the Galaxy Zoo team
