ISS Earth at Night Photos Crowdsourced For Science

Posted by samzenpus on from the worth-a-thousand-words dept.

teleyinex writes The Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) is leading a project called Cities at Night to catalog the images taken by astronauts from the ISS. The project uses the platform Crowdcrafting powered by the open source software PyBossa to catalog images in cities, stars or other objects, as well as geo-reference them."

    Thanks ;-) I'm the lead developer of Crowdcrafting and its technology PyBossa where you can contribute not only to this amazing project, but others like Rural Geolocator developed by the Public Health Computing group at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute in Basel. Rural Geolocator is geo-referencing houses to fight Malaria, so if you are tired of really amazing pictures from ISS join us also in that project. It's pretty helpful and amazing too :-) Cheers, Daniel PS: Note PyBossa is open-source :D
