Help Identify Strong Gravitational Lenses in Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey

I thought this was cool and thought I would pass it along. Apparently the HSC is using crowd-sourcing to identify Gravitation Lens candidates from their data. The Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is a gigantic digital still camera for 8.2 m Subaru telescope which is being built by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in collaboration with international academic and industrial partners.

The crowdsourcing is done through Zooniverse. Read below:

What is the Zooniverse?

The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research. This research is made possible by volunteers — hundreds of thousands of people around the world who come together to assist professional researchers. Our goal is to enable research that would not be possible, or practical, otherwise. Zooniverse research results in new discoveries, datasets useful to the wider research community, and many publications.

At the Zooniverse, anyone can be a researcher

You don’t need any specialised background, training, or expertise to participate in any Zooniverse projects. We make it easy for anyone to contribute to real academic research, on their own computer, at their own convenience.

You’ll be able to study authentic objects of interest gathered by researchers, like images of faraway galaxies, historical records and diaries, or videos of animals in their natural habitats. By answering simple questions about them, you’ll help contribute to our understanding of our world, our history, our Universe, and more.

With our wide-ranging and ever-expanding suite of projects, covering many disciplines and topics across the sciences and humanities, there's a place for anyone and everyone to explore, learn and have fun in the Zooniverse. To volunteer with us, just go to the Projects page, choose one you like the look of, and get started.
