The Moonometer
If you’ve ever wondered how many clicks you and your fellow Moon Zoo explorers have accumulated there is a way to find out. Click on the MoonometerTM link on the main Moon Zoo page to find not only the number of clicks (3,603,009 at the time of writing) but what those clicks look like in terms of more familiar things, like how many Australias (0.028), how many Disneylands (635,825) or how many Armillaria Ostoyae (24,290).
Keep checking back to see the numbers increase!
Massive thanks to everyone for each and every click. That’s over 3 and a half million clicks in the name of lunar science.
The Moonometer (TM) Challenge!
Join in the Moonometer (TM) challenge! We need you to classify 25,000 images between now and Monday to celebrate International Observe the Moon Night. Just go to Moon Zoo and start clicking!
2 Million images!!
Moon Zoo isn’t yet I year old but last week the 2 millionth classification was made. This represents an amazing number of craters measured, boulders examined and interesting features marked. To get an idea of the size of the area this represents just look at some of the equivalent measurements:
- 46,336 square miles (that’s 120,010 square km!)
- 2,000 Manhattans
- 2.91 Switzerlands
- 272,748 Vaticans
- 13,187,802 Taj Mahals
- 352,979 Disneylands
So how much of the Moon have we done? Half? A quarter? Not even anywhere near! This represents just 0.3% of the Moon so there’s plenty of Moon left yet. So thanks a million (or two) to everybody and keep on clicking! Don’t forget to check the Moonometer(TM) from time to time to see how we’re doing.
