The web portal Zooniverse was launched in 2009 and is owned and operated by the Citizen Science Alliance, an international cooperation of educators, software developers, and scientists who create and utilize online-based people-powered projects to expand public understanding of research and advance scientific research itself. Zooniverse originated from the crowdsourced astronomy project Galaxy Zoo (launched 2007) and has become one of the world’s largest and most successful citizen science portals with more than a million volunteers assisting professional researchers.
