- 11. Motivation Contribution to science (i.e. no sandbox games, it must really be a contribution to science) Learn more about astronomy You see things that very few people have seen before Galaxy Zoo: Exploring the Motivations of Citizen Science Volunteers http://link.aip.org/link/doi/10.3847/AER200903
- 12. Contributions • Galaxy Zoo: 24 papers published • Do spiral galaxies have a preferred direction of rotation? (No) • Much larger number of Blue Ellipticals than initially thought • Astronomers previously thought that all red galaxies are elliptical
- 15. Motivation • Recognition by peers and professionals • Publication in magazines and books • Contribute to astronomy research (ie. Publication of papers)
- 16. Contributions • Beautiful astronomical images • Contribution to astrophotography websites (Astronomy Picture of the Day) and publications (The World at Night) • Hardware hack: PhilipsToUcam Pro • Image processing techniques: Lucky imaging • Advanced contributions (coauthors on papers) to several areas of astronomy: supernova, planetary sciences, time- consuming and long time coverage

Editor's Notes
- In the form of an interactive computer game players get to process photographs where they have to mark interesting features like river deltas on Mars, the evolution of glaciers on Earth and so on. Cerberus as a game is equipped with an extensive learning experience in order to ready the players to do the job
