This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observation has captured the galaxy CGCG 396-2, an unusual multi-armed galaxy merger which lies around 520 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Orion.
This observation is a gem from the Galaxy Zoo project, a citizen science project in which hundreds of thousands of volunteers classified galaxies to help scientists solve a problem of astronomical proportions — how to sort through the vast amounts of data generated by robotic telescopes. Following a public vote, a selection of the most astronomically intriguing objects from the Galaxy Zoo were selected for follow-up observations with Hubble. CGCG 396-2 is one such object, and was captured in this image by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.
The Galaxy Zoo project originated when an astronomer was set an impossibly mind-numbing task; classifying more than 900 000 galaxies by eye. By making a web interface and inviting citizen scientists to contribute to the challenge, the Galaxy Zoo team was able to crowdsource the analysis, and within six months a legion of 100 000 volunteer citizen astronomers had contributed more than 40 million galaxy classifications.
Since its initial success, the Galaxy Zoo project and its successor projects have contributed to more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and led to a rich variety of intriguing astronomical discoveries above and beyond their initial goals. The success of the project also inspired more than 100 citizen science projects on the Zooniverse portal, ranging from analysing data from the ESA Rosetta spacecraft's visit to Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko to counting killer whales around remote Alaskan islands!

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Covid-19 still has this Marine Science Center Closed. This is the craziest thing I have ever lived through. When will this end..??
Smash the "L" key to enlarge, then you can read the closed sign on the building.
It's so silly that we have to make statements that science is real. It's so sad that the statements actually need to be made.
Great Friday and weekend to you.
It is a science of how the ancient Romans produced this glass art 1700 years ago.
See the bottle in the bottle :-)
SCIENCE is the topic for Wed Jan 25 2017 Group Our Daily challenge
Searching my Google Maps right before the Lousiana Border we found the.INFINITY Science Center that actually was on One side of the Highway and the Other Side is where the John C. Stennis Space Center was by appointment only and that was where the actual launch the Rockets. What we were in for was a brush-up of our space program and a real Rocket Scientist’s explanation of how a rocket works, which filled any remaining empty brain cells I had with a new understanding of the complexity of rocket engines, and the realization I won’t be building one soon. Our visit was on a Monday and the crowds were sparse till later in the afternoon
