What it does
On reveal: If you're losing here, draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2007
A citizen-science project where volunteers sort photographs of galaxies by shape to help astronomers.
The team hoped for 20,000 to 30,000 volunteers. Over 100,000 joined and made more than 40 million classifications in about 175 days. Finds include Hanny's Voorwerp and the green pea galaxies.
In 2007: Launched in July, with some 900,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to classify.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
