The Milky Way Project

The Milky Way Project is a citizen science initiative where volunteers help astronomers by examining images of our galaxy taken from telescopes. Participants identify and label features such as bubbles, clouds, and other structures within the Milky Way, aiding in the study of star formation and galactic evolution. This collaborative effort accelerates data analysis, allowing scientists to better understand the complex processes shaping our galaxy while engaging the public in astronomical research.
