Moon Zoo www.moonzoo.org is a citizen science project which invites
volunteers from around the world to record and measure craters in images
taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera archived through the
Planetary Data System. The interface also invites visitors to the
website to look for interesting surface features and to record boulder-surrounded
craters in an effort to better understand the nature of the lunar
regolith.

The site has been developed by the Citizen Science Alliance, the team
behind the highly successful Galaxy Zoo, and in collaboration with the NASA
Lunar Science Institute and Adler Planetarium.We would like to express our thanks to all those involved in the LRO mission and LROC team for all their efforts in making available these amazing imagesof the lunar surface.

We invite you to try out the Moon Zoo website and provide feedback on the project either by the Forum (http://forum.moonzoo.org/) or by contacting one of the team members (http://www.moonzoo.org/team). If you are interested in analysing scientific data collected by the project to address your own lunar science research please do also get in touch with the team.

Thank you for you help and we hope that you enjoy further exploring the
Moon with Moon Zoo! Please do spread the word.
