Astronomers recruited amateurs to help them sort Hobby-Eberly Telescope observations in the Dark Energy Explorers project to map galaxies.
The volunteers contribute online to a project called Dark Energy Explorers with little more than a smartphone or a computer swiping right to differentiate an actualThis allows them to explore the mysteries of the universe alongside astronomers while assisting in the hunt for distant galaxies and ultimately helping them learn more aboutThe ultimate goal of the project is to build the most extensive 3D map of the cosmos, focusing on galaxies in the early universe to measure rates of expansion and...
The Dark Energy Explorer volunteers are thus often the first humans to lay eyes on a newly discovered galaxy. The amateur scientists then swipe right on the images they believe are galaxies like a cosmic version of Tinder. Dark energy is believed to account for around 70% of the universe's total energy and matter but still, scientists know very little about what it is beyond its effect of accelerating theStudying the way ancient galaxies race apart from each other could help better understand the dynamics of dark energy and this is a vital step in determining what it is and where it comes from.
What will they find?...No dark energy! (claims of findings cannot be excluded, but that is not same as scientific findings)
