About SPACE FLUFF
The better our telescopes get, the fainter the galaxies we see with them can be. Recently a new population of faint objects has attracted the attention of the scientific community: we need your help to make sense of what we see!
Since it is a challenging field due to the nature of the objects, we want to be prepared for the future big surveys. We have built this project with a medium sized dataset from the Fornax Deep Survey to classify these objects with citizen science and to study how this classification can compare with the traditional one. This will allow us to be ready when it is time to add a way bigger set from the KIDS survey of the same objects. Stay tuned for that!
