NASA has too many images of Mars. NASA experts can no longer study and study one separately. However, if no analysis can be lost very useful information. Well, to get out of this problem they have been raised the idea of turning the study of these images into leisure games.

They have created a website for people to play, as if they were a researcher on Mars. So, in one of the games, for example, you can analyze and classify NASA images to help create a more complete image or map of Mars. In another case, users will need to count crater crashes that appear in the photos to help researchers determine the age of rocks on Mars.

NASA experts are convinced that, with the help of the general public, they will be able to make many more discoveries in photos taken on Mars.
