Citizen scientists re-tune Hubble`s galaxy classification
(PHYSorg.com Space & Earth)

Hundreds of thousands of volunteers have helped to overturn almost a century of galaxy classification, in a new study using data from the longstanding Galaxy Zoo project. The new investigation, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, uses classifications of over 6000 galaxies to reveal that `well known` correlations between different features are not found in this large and complete sample.
