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

[Potter, Seth D]

Galaxy Zoo -- interesting choice of names. Reminds me of the origin of
the term Zodiac -- circle of animals.
-Seth
P.S.: Would a circle of men be a maniac?

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!
