Perform astronomy on your Android phone and contribute to science!

Galaxy Zoo uses gorgeous imagery of hundreds of thousands of galaxies drawn from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope archive. To understand how these galaxies, and our own, formed we need your help to classify them according to their shapes — a task at which your brain is better than even the most advanced computer.

This app needs an internet connection every so often but is designed to work offline by saving galaxy photos to the SD card. When online and logged into Galaxy Zoo with the app, your answers are uploaded to the main system (periodically).

The photos that produced the images in this app were obtained from telescopes (i.e. Hubble) at or near their maximum power. While sometimes small and difficult to discern, these are the best images we have of these incredibly distant galaxies.

nice i, too, would like to see some of the other projects featured on android. a zoom control would be good and be able to favourite galaxies uploads often fail. got 100 in queue now.

Needs work Can be slow to classify common galaxies and fails to upload if there are too many.

by Gaetano the 1/20/2012

Great app, works perfectly, no crashes or freezing or anything like that. Would like to see app versions of their other projects.

by Kali the 1/18/2012

Works perfect Zipped through nearly 100 galaxies in no time. I really *really* can't wait for there to be apps for the other projects! (planet hunters, PLEASE!) Would like to see a "favorite" button

Om Ok easy to use but app should use full screen size of device. Fix and you get another star. 4.2 inch screen and maybe uses all but the sides. Zoom would be a nice feature.

exciting helping classifying the zoo for quite some time now and was happy to stumble upon the apk since i got less time surfing by desktop. thanks!

Overall decent Desperately needs the favorites feature & zoom. UI could be cleaned up by making buttons larger and scrollable. Until fav's come I will use the site.

by 3dBloke the 6/14/2011

Login fixed. Nice app, but UI a little too fussy. As a long-time Zooniverse user, this is a welcome addition to my apps. The login problem has been fixed (Nexus One). I find the UI too fussy for what is a simple categorization process. I'd prefer a simpler approach. Buttons too small.
