Galaxy Zoo
published by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Galaxy Zoo is an ongoing research project to classify millions of galaxies. The website has a short tutorial to teach the user how to classify the galaxies. Once they have passed a trial proving their ability, they are allowed to create an account and save their classifications to Galaxy Zoo's database. The images being classified come from the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey).
