The best way to contact me is via email, while I use different email addresses for different purposes, chrislintott AT cantab.net will always reach me. You will need to remove the spaces and replace the word ‘AT’ with the usual symbol.
If you prefer old fashioned mail, I can be contacted via Somerville College, Oxford, OX2 6HD
Or you can simply add a comment to this post (although this will be public).

Hey Chris,
Good to have your Universe back - I thought there’d been a Big Crunch and it had vanished! Nice look to the new site.
If you do any reporting on the new images being taken by Opportunity at Victoria Crater, feel free to use any of my colourised images, which you can find at:

I’m particularly pleased with the one of the astronaut standing beside Cabo Verde…
All the best from Kendal up in rain-soaked Cumbria, we hope to see you up here again sometime soon.

Hi Chris,
Great to see the new blog up and running! I enjoyed the trial blog and I’m sure this one will be even better.
Good luck with it all!

Thanks for linking to the MArs colourisations I’ve done, appreciate it!
Like you I’m still rather in shock at the image showing Oppy and Victoria Crater… it moved me to write one of my “astropoems”, and if you’d like to read it it’s here…

It’s called “Sleeping”, which is wjat Oppy deserves to do soon after her long trek!
Cheers,
Stu

Hi Chris, thanks for putting up the 2 movies. I asked you about this last night at your lecture in Belfast! Any chance you could email the 2nd one directly to me as our software at work is stopping it for some reason - but perhaps its too big?
Thanks!

Afternoon Mr Lintott -
Hope you don’t mind my giving you a ‘heads up’ to the following link
http://www.martinpughastrophotography.id.au/Vastness_of_Space.htm
- especially as you are prob very busy - but I found the linked images really brought home how big (or small) our planet really is.
Regards

Chris would you mind if I linked your blog to my new site? I spoke to Will Gater and got the approval for his site and as yours adds a much needed astrophysics feel would you mind if I linked it in.
Many thanks
Peter.

Dear Chris (and all visitors),
I just thought you might be interested to know that I recently created a ‘gateway’ of astrolinks of particular interest to amateur astronomers and space enthusiasts (such as myself ): http://www.astrospaceweb.com . I have now included a link to your excellent site in the category ‘other interesting sites ‘ (hope you don’t mind that!). All visitors are welcome to send a message to my site’s email address - your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!.
Regards and Best Wishes for the 50th anniversary programme, Bruce Woods

Dear Chris,
On a totally different matter; your name “Lintott” means “towhead” in Swedish and is quite commonly used. It’s partly derived from the word “lin” – “linen”. You, Chris, must be of swedish ancestry, probably from way back, but still. Just thought you should know.

Greetings Chris,
I just read an article about you recruiting the public for galaxy shape and spin characteristics. I came to your website to sign up. I would love to participate, but for the life of me, I can not locate the tutorial, nor a sign up page. Am I too early? Have you launched this portion of the project yet, or is it coming soon?
Thanks,
Lucian

Hello Chris
I signed up for the GalazyZoo as soon as I found out. I’m now sorting galacies online. I never thought it would be this much fun. I’m just s 17 year old first year Mechanical Engineering student. I wanted to study Astronomy, but they don’t teach it in my country, and I can’t afford to leave the country to go to college.
I plan to get a master’s in Mech. Engineering and study Astronomy in the US, or Europe.
Thanks for helping me get closer to my goal

Hello Chris
I hope you don’t mind but I have included a page on my new website dedicated to a new book I received for Christmas called ‘BANG’. I’m sure you are aware of it!!
As a keen but amature astronamer with special interests in cosmology, quantum physics and hopefully one day the conection of the two, I would like to include many elements relating to these subjects on my site.
I thought the book was very enlightening for the novice and am happy to promote it.
Please take a look at the site (early stages yet) and please approve the use of your material. If this is a problem please let me know and it shall be removed.
Thanks for your time, and good luck with unravaling the origin of everything.
