Space Warps Classify complete!! Sprint finish on Space Warps Refine

What a phenomenal achievement! You have collectively made a staggering 5.3 million classifications and classified 240,000 subjects on the Space Warps ESA Euclid Data Release 1 (DR1) dataset! Incredible! 

We still need your help in refining the high scoring systems from this first phase of the DR1 search to the final sample of lens candidates. There are only ~18,000 of your high scoring systems left to inspect in Space Warps Refine containing many stunning new lenses awaiting your expert eyes.

Can we refine the remaining candidates in a week? We think you can!! Please join us in a sprint finish to complete this initial search.

We’ve truly been blown away by your efforts, and the amazing systems you’ve discovered! Attached below are some of the systems you have classified as definite lenses – we agree, these are fantastic examples!

We hope you enjoy this final stretch of inspecting all the amazing candidates you have found.

Happy Refining!

Three spectacular galaxy-galaxy lenses, each with a clear arc and counter-image on the opposing side of the lens galaxy. These each have blue arcs, suggesting the source galaxies may have lots of star-formation (which takes place for example in spiral galaxies).
