    Do you mean you see repeated sims or just regular images are seen repeated in succession?
    We all are trying to find where the real lenses are, that's the challenge! There are some known real lenses in the images which are appropriately labelled in Talk. Any new ones that we will find, we plan to report a few soon but its possible to present the full sample systematically only towards the end of the survey images. Watch out for our emails/blogs on such reports!

    Just wjat are we doing? I've looked at close to 9.000 images, and they are all training tests, apparently. What is the point?

    Sometimes I find something that clearly (to me) looks like a lens, but I don't get a CONGRATS banner. Are these sometimes CANDIDATE lenses?

    As from tonight we are on a different mission :

    Have you seen this blog post ? Space Warps Refine

    We are now going through a sample of 3.381 possible lenses (found by Space Warpers). You only get a message if you clicked on or correctly didn't click on a non-lens.

    Happy hunting !

    Hi alsunni,

    We are now going through a sample of 3.381 possible lenses to refine this sample. When that is done the scinetists will study this sample. and Then we'll know if we found any lenses and how many.
