The site, in 2012
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 2012: Its mergers, supernovae and Hubble projects all wound up this year, between June and September.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
