Darksavior69 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Amazingly, not a political or news post. Did a quick search and it appears no one has posted about this pretty cool site. http://galaxyzoo.org/ Basically you sign up, take a pretty short and easy test to make sure you're able to properly identify the different types of galaxies from one another and then you're allowed to analyze different pictures of these galaxies to identify what type they are. It's pretty fun and addicting. Sadly most of the galaxies are so far away the pictures are really unclear and hard to identify but occasionally you'll find some pretty amazing ones which make you want to just keep going until you find more. Here are a few examples of some of the better ones I've found. Not sure if this even is a galaxy but pretty beautiful none the less. By far the coolest one I've found. Appears to be a ring galaxy.
