PUNE: Citizens can now participate in a special community astronomy programme where they can help in locating the features of one billion galaxies in the universe. The project will be launched by the Pune Knowledge Cluster (PKC) under Ajit Kembhavi.
The One Million Galaxies project aims at involving citizens to get over the difficulty of examining the vast amounts of data collected by astronomers. The programme enables people without training in astronomy to help find features in the galaxies.
