[oasis-members] Anyone want to go to the Galaxy Zoo?

[DRh9811850 at aol.com]

This is a neat idea:  There's more Galaxies out there than you can shake a 
catalogue at -- and some astronomers want some help catagorizing them.

Of the millions of images taken over the years, only a fraction have been 
tagged as to type: spiral, whirlpool, edge-on, etc. Soooo, in the spirit of the 
Seti-at-home project idea, sort of, they are asking for some help. You can lend 
your computer, and your eyeballs, to a scientific endeavour of ginormous 
proportions!

There's an article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6289474.stm

and the group website is here:  http://www.galaxyzoo.org/
