Disk Detective is the first NASA led and funded collaboration project with Zooniverse.〔https://www.zooniverse.org/projects〕 It is NASA’s largest crowdsourcing citizen science project 〔http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-032 NASA-Sponsored 'Disk Detective' Lets Public Search for New Planetary Nurseries〕 aiming at engaging the general public in search of stars, which are surrounded by dust-rich circumstellar disks, where planets are usually dwell and formed.〔(Launching Disk Detective: A New Citizen Science Website › Marketing For Scientists )〕 ==Details== Disk Detective was launched in January 2014, and is expected to continue till 2017.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nasa.gov/content/disk-detective/#.VCHrTitdUpK )〕 The public (aka the users) is invited to search through images captured by space agency's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE))〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/WISE/news/wise20120314.html )〕 and other sky surveys: the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The images in Disk Detective have all been pre-selected to be extra bright. They are at mid-infrared, near-infrared and optical wavelengths. Disks are not the only heavenly objects that appear bright at infrared wavelengths; active galactic nuclei, galaxies, asteroids and interstellar dust clouds also emit at these wavelengths. Computer algorithms can't distinguish the difference, so it is necessary to examine all images by "eye" to make sure that the selected candidates are stars with disks, and not other celestial objects.
