NeMO-Net Citizen Science Project Gets a 4.9 Star Rating

Users have submitted over 56K classifications of coral at the new, highly rated, NeMO-Net app.

NASA's new citizen science project, NeMO-Net is making waves! NeMO-Net is a game where players help NASA classify coral reefs by painting 3D and 2D images of coral. Players embark on a virtual research vessel and travel the oceans by analyzing actual images of corals on the sea floor. As you explore, you learn about different types of corals and how to classify them. Each classification you make will help researchers better understand how coral reefs are changing, and ultimately, find a way to save these amazing underwater worlds.

Within one month of it being released, NeMO-Net garnered over 35K downloads, over 364 reviews, and a 4.9 star rating on the iPhone App Store. Users have submitted over 56K classifications of coral and, using the in-game rating system, over 43K ratings of other user classifications. The classifications created through NeMO-Net look promising—these will assist the NeMO-Net team to train a supercomputer in the real world to one day classify corals on its own.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
