Galaxy Zoo 2

(GZ2)
(crowd-sourced classification of hundreds of thousands of galaxies)

Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2) was a Zooniverse project to classify some of the brightest galaxies from Sloan Digital Sky Survey through crowd-sourcing. It was the follow-on to the original Galaxy Zoo which classified satellites in SDSS. Galaxy Zoo 2 produced about 60 million classifications of 250,000 galaxies. Currently, the name Galaxy Zoo is used as an umbrella name for a succession of such galaxy-identification projects.
