Galaxy Zoo (6/8/08)

If you find yourself bored at home (or at work...) and would like to help out the astronomy community, you can spend an hour helping classify galaxies. The kicker for them is that with all of our technology, they still don't have classification software reliable enough to correctly classify galaxies into 1 of 6 bins: spiral (clockwise from our view), spiral (counterclockwise from our view) spiral (edge-on), elliptical, merging galaxies, or unsure.

They maintain robustness in having us classify their galaxies just by the reliability in shear number of users.
