The databases are frequently updated with new data from peer-reviewed publications and conferences.

Galaxy Zoo

Galaxy Zoo is an online astronomy project which invites members of the public to assist in the morphological classification of large numbers of galaxies. It is an example of citizen science as it enlists the help of members of the public to help in scientific research. An improved version—Galaxy Zoo 2—went live on 17 February 2009. The current iteration of the project, launched in April 2010, is Galaxy Zoo: Hubble, and uses Hubble Space Telescope survey data. It is part of the Universe group of citizen science projects.

Space.com

Space.com is a space and astronomy news website. Its stories are often syndicated to other media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo!, and USA Today. Space.com was founded by former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and Rich Zahradnik, in July 1999. At that time, Dobbs owned a sizeable share of the company, and, in an unexpected move, left CNN later that year to become Space.com's chief executive officer.[12]

Universe Today (UT) is a non-commercial

news site, founded in 1999[13] by Fraser Cain and edited by Nancy Atkinson.[14][15] The news can then be discussed on the forums. The forum began on 24 July 2003, and was mainly used to discuss the Universe Today news as well as ask space-related questions and discuss alternate theories.[15] In early September 2005, the forum merged with that of Bad Astronomy combined to form the BAUT forum.[16] The website's viewership attains several million people per year.[17][18]

peer-reviewed papers have mentioned Universe Today as being a space-related news website.[20][21][22]

In 2008 the site was briefly banned for about a day from

Businessweek reported that the site had lost 20 percent of its traffic in five days after a change in the page ranking algorithm of Google.[24] In April 2011, the Association of British Science Writers noted that Universe Today decided to ignore embargoed stories.[25]
