Citizen Science

A few weeks ago I have started to do service to a scientific research website which researches Supernovae, Solar storms and even galaxies. It is an amazing experience to me. The site is galaxyzoo.org

I feel like I am really involved in the scientific research. 

This is really important for me, as in the future I am intending to go to a scientific university and also do a job which relates to science. Furthermore, I also learn many scientific terminology from the sites I am using. In addition, it is not hard, for example: there is a site where you have to identify and classify galaxies. It is really easy as you only need to tell its shape and if there is something wrong with it. It might sound as wasting time and you might ask why is it useful, well there are many many galaxies and even more stars in the universe they do not really differ from each other my that much and we are looking for some which do and that would propel physics and chemistry forward.

By doing these activities I have achieved many values along the way for example , I have undertaken new challenges as I have never identified galaxies and solar storms before. Furthermore, I have engaged with issues of global importance by providing this service and also increased my knowledge about my strength in the areas of science.
