Help map the moon!

"Citizen Science" has long allowed amateur ornithologists, lepidopterists, herpetologists, and lots of other "ologists" to take part in monitoring populations of plants and animals here on Earth.  But now is your chance to reach beyond our planet by helping to map the moon! The Citizen Science Alliance needs lots of eyes to help classify tens of thousands of NASA's moon photos.  It's a daunting task for a handful of scientists, but with the help of hundreds (or thousands?) of the rest of us, the craters, boulders, fallen space debris and other features of the moonscape will be mapped in fine detail.

Participants are asked to simply sort through a variety of photographs and count the craters, look for other oddities, and compare the numbers of boulders strewn across different areas of the moon.  It's an exercise in pattern recognition and counting that is still best done by the good ole human eye rather than by computers!  To help out with this project, check out this website:   http://www.moonzoo.org/
