We're excited to say that the citizen science project is now live at www.asteroidzoo.org
This site is the result of a partnership between the Zooniverse and Planetary Resources and asks you to help crowdsource the discovery of new Near Earth Objects (NEOs).
Discovering new asteroids close to home not only helps us to locate and track potentially dangerous, Earth-impacting, hunks of rock - but it is also the start of a journey into space to try and mine asteroids for their minerals.
To learn more visit the Asteroid Zoo science page, or just dive in at www.asteroidzoo.org. You'll be shown a set of four images in sequence, which you can view and animate in different ways, and you have to try and spot the asteroid moving between them. It's rather addictive.
If you like the Zooniverse, you can find us, and all our projects at www.zooniverse.org and on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and on the Zooniverse Blog Happy hunting!
Ever wanted to save the world?
Now you can, by spotting asteroids.
It's supposed to be a fun title.
Who said you can't save the world?
Well the population atleast. With enough early warning you could give people a chance don't you think?
i would question the size of the city cause in a couple of days there is no way your clearing a city of millions of people.just aint going to happen.

What if it's not an ELE and it's estimated to land on your city in the next couple of days?
If you spotted it, you could save all your friends.
Isn't that good enough for you?
