We’re often told how festive the images in the Milky Way Project look – so for the Zooniverse Advent Calendar we’ve made some festive MWP tree decorations. You can download these template PDF files (first, second, third), follow the simple instructions, and you’ll have a star-formation laden tree this year!
To create your Milky Way Project bauble, you need to cut-out each of the four images and then fold each one in half (as below).
Using a glue stick, stick the four sections together to form the bauble – remembering to insert a bit of ribbon, paper or string to hang the decoration onto the tree.
Printing the images onto good quality paper or card will produce a better result – but there you have it: citizen science on your Christmas tree!
As a former art teacher and now working in a day habilitation program with adults, I love the idea of a Milky Way project bauble-
Thanks for the idea, Joanne Cocivera
