Galaxy Zoo?

[hes not well again]

Been logging in for a awhile now and am slightly suprised that there has been no mention of Galaxy Zoo. Personally I have spent quite a few rainy evenings happily classifying galaxies on the site. Is it too passe for words?

Well I can recomend it if your not doing anything else. Could have a planet named after you if you spot one on planet hunters.

I enjoy that site, spend way to much time there

I went through a phase sometime back where I classified what seemed like hundreds of galaxies. I enjoyed that process the most; did some of the supernovae section as well.

I had a go on the old weather section,transcribing ww1 navy log books. The ship I followed spent two years in dry dock!

I'm another GalaxyZooer - PlanetHunter and IceHunter too - and a big fan of the whole citizen science idea.

It's the combination of science with the chance to look at images you won't see through your scope. If it's cloudy out I'm planning future observing sessions, reading about astronomy, or classify something celestial.

Maybe I'm becoming too obsessive

Simple test, if you can go to a party and not mention astronomy all night your probably ok

iv given it ago, planet, the galaxy, but i was getting confused, as i kept forgetting what i had to do with each one lol

I was a GalaxyZooer in the early days, dropped off to sleep during Hubble classifications, terrible I know, but its the age factor you know

I used to do quite a bit of classifying on Galaxy Zoo but I have found myself doing it less and less, sometimes I pick it up again for a few weeks and then leave it again. For some reason the other projects in the "Zooniverse" aren't for me so I don't frequent them much.
