Default Far OT: Galaxy Zoo asks for help

Far off topic:

Astronomers ask for public help with project:
Public news story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6289474.stm

Classify galaxies as being CW spiral, CCW spiral, or no spiral pattern at all.
Millions of galaxies to classify. Public (world wide) asked to help with classification.

Web site:
http://www.galaxyzoo.org/

Login, take tutorial & test, and if you get 8 correct, then you get to join in the project.
