Euclid Galaxy Zoo

Galaxy Zoo recently launched a new version showing images from Euclid. These images would not otherwise be released until (at least) March 2025. This is the first opportunity for anyone outside of the Euclid Consortium to see images from the Euclid’s main surveys. Read more on the ESA’s website.

The volunteer annotations are used to train machine models to interpret all Euclid images. The more annotations collected, the better these models will perform. Volunteers have already contributed over 200,000 annotations in the first two weeks.

Please consider sharing the project with outreach and education colleagues.

Anyone joining in will be advancing science, learning about galaxies, and seeing images that no-one has seen before.
