I have viewed 4500 images ~ not sure how many are in the 'library' for viewing ~ but am enjoying the whole process so far

yeah me to it's fantastic, to look at images that have never been seen before, potentially.

how does it answer if you get it right or wrong when the images have never been seen ?

the computer selects some galaxies, paints a lens around them, and you have to click on that area, then it says jolly good, or whatever

by using sims, scientists can measure what we are capable of seeing, and what we miss because it is too dim.

not sure about this - the arc is so far from the centre of the image ?
