Good job everyone, we're at 5000+ classifications!

Super excited to start off at the beginning of one of these projects!! Is there a total count or percentage anywhere that we can see?

I am not sure how to elegantly tie this question to this other discussion, so I'm going to try brute force - see this link: http://talk.diskdetective.org/#/boards/BWI0000002/discussions/DWI000001e

Is there a publin statistic on how many classifications there are by now? Would be pretty interesting.

Thanks tnor91 - yes I can see what you mean. So when it extends what does that mean?
Sorry, new 2 this but interested in learning.

Misty Blue it's a #galaxy. Check the objects by clicking "More info on SIMBAD". Recheck the object by using SIMBAD coordinates.

I don't understand why it doesn't ask if there are any other objects outside of the red circle that are noticeable, perhaps will be a moon.

Hmm...moon. I am looking forward to the times when we will be looking for moons in similar images in some Zooniverse project 😃

Well, in order to actually see moons in images, it'd have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY close. We wouldn't see moons even around Alpha Cen.
