Thanks to you for your time helping! Crowdcrafting has many more projects, so if you get tired of watching amazing pictures from the ISS, choose another one, or even better create your own!
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks ;-)
I'm the lead developer of Crowdcrafting and its technology PyBossa where you can contribute not only to this amazing project, but others like Rural Geolocator developed by the Public Health Computing group at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute in Basel.
Rural Geolocator is geo-referencing houses to fight Malaria, so if you are tired of really amazing pictures from ISS join us also in that project. It's pretty helpful and amazing too :-)
Cheers,
Daniel
PS: Note PyBossa is open-source :D

My bad ;-) The project is analyzing photos taken by astronauts at ISS for studying light pollution in cities. I should have added that info to the excerpt!
Submission + - ISS earth night photos Crowdsourced For Science with Crowdcrafting.org (nasa.gov) 2

The project uses the platform Crowdcrafting powered by the open source software PyBossa to catalog images in cities, stars or other objects, as well as geo-reference them.

Submission + - ForestWatchers: A citizen project for forest monitoring (forestwatchers.net)
teleyinex writes: ForestWatchers.net is a citizen project with the goal of making possible to anyone (locals, volunteers, NGOs, governments, etc), anywhere in the world, to monitor selected patches of forest across the globe, almost in real-time, using a computer connected to the Internet.
The project has recencently released a first alpha web application (built using the open source crowdsourcing PyBossa framework) where volunteers can participate classifying satellite images of one area of the Amazon basin.
The project is looking for feedback and help about this first application.
