Wanted: Citizen Scientists to Hunt 'Space Warp' Galaxies
for Space.com Astronomers are calling for volunteers to help them search for "space warps," rare and distant galaxies that bend light around them like enormous lenses. Citizen scientists participating in the Space Warps project, which launches Wednesday, could help shed light on the mysterious dark matter pervading the universe and aid research into a number of other cosmic phenomena, organizers said.
