...before,” he says. He found just that with supernova simulations from the University of Chicago’s center for Advanced Simulation and Computing. Using these simulations and other cutting-edge graphics available in the public domain—3-D models of space stations from NASA, for instance—he and his brother Benjamin S. Berman ’12, an animator and fellow VES concentrator, were able to construct convincing shots of a spaceship hurtling through outer space...

Researchers from other disciplines have begun approaching the Galaxy Zoo team for help sorting their own masses of information. With Galaxy Zoo's assistance, the Royal Observatory Greenwich just launched Solar Stormwatch, which asks volunteers to track solar explosions captured on video by NASA's STEREO spacecraft. The idea is eventually to be able to predict these flare-ups, which interfere with satellites and endanger astronauts. Another project will task volunteers with translating the famous Oxyrhynchus Papyri, a cache of 50,000 Ptolemaic-era manuscript fragments from Egypt. Yet another will analyze footage of the New Caledonian crow...
