NASA calls for volunteers to star gaze and unlock the mystery of how the universe started
This undated image provided by the University of Utah shows the Andromeda galaxy, made by the Hubble Space Telescope.Astronomers are looking for thousands of volunteers to scan computerized images of a neighboring galaxy in a survey that could explain how stars are continually being formed across the universe. The survey is exploring the Milky Way's nearest big neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, about 2.5 million light-years away.
This image provided by NASA shows the immense Andromeda galaxy, also known as Messier 31, captured in full in this newimage from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. Astronomers are looking for thousands of Internet volunteers, to identify and count clusters of stars of the Andromeda galaxy. Astronomers from Utah to Europe say it would take them too long to study that many images and they need help.
This image provided by NASA Wednesday Jan. 5, 2011 is the most detailed image of the Andromeda Galaxy ever taken at far-infrared wavelengths. The Herschel infrared space telescope captured the image during Christmas 2010. The image is a combination of observations from the Herschel Space Observatory taken in infrared light (seen in orange hues), and theXMM-Newton telescope captured in X-rays (seen in blues). Astronomers are looking for thousands of Internet volunteers, to identify and count clusters of stars of the Andromeda galaxy. Astronomers from Utah to Europe say it would take them too long to study that many images and they need help.
In this image provided by NASA and taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows previously unseen early galaxies including theoldest one at 13.3 billion years old. Launched in 1990, Hubble has peered deep in time to reveal distant and old galaxies.
