The crowdsourced astronomy app, The Cosmic Blueprint, is a redesign of the popular website Galaxy Zoo. The Cosmic Blueprint has greater consideration for clarity, accessibility, and human motivation. It is important to design the app in such a way that the user is incentivized and motivated to identify as many photos as possible, as having the scientist do this process would take significantly more time.
The primary function of the app allows the user to contribute to scientific research by helping astronomers classify galaxies. The user can select a photo from a large grid of photos.
