Field notes
The page explains that H-alpha light from glowing hydrogen gas helps locate regions where stars are forming, and connects those maps to research on galaxy evolution. It says the available set contains about 1,300 galaxies and that computer-detected clumps can be noisy. The homepage offers a small interactive demo, while noting that its classifications are not saved; the linked project has real galaxies awaiting volunteer review.
