Spacewarp

[lindhardDeltager Super Nova]

As some of you heard at the section meeting in March, in Oxford we’ve been

building a new website for enabling deep sky survey astronomy by the

general public. “Space Warps” launched today, and we have several thousand

volunteers inspecting images from the CFHTLS, looking for gravitational

lenses 🙂

You can join in at:

http://spacewarps.org

It would be great to see you there! In particular, if you click on

“Discuss”, you’ll be taken through to http://talk.spacewarps.org – and its

here that the BAA members can really help. As the project goes on, the

discussion will grow until it is the main activity on the site – we’ll need

to sift through the candidates found on the main interface, and have

sensible scientific debates over some of the more difficult objects. Your

expertise could be invaluable.

Hope to see you soon – happy hunting! 🙂
