The Universe as seen from the perspective of an astronomical researcher, presenter and writer.
Did I forget to tell you that the latest Living Space was online? And that it contains a fantastic preview of the Phoenix mission to Mars?
Sorry for the delay, but you can still listen to it or download it to save it for ever.

The link from the main site should be up shortly, but the Galaxy Zoo Forum is now open for business.
(You’ll also shortly be able to revisit galaxies classified in the last week).

Did you know that composer Camille Saint Saens was an astronomer? Neither did I until I heard Steven Isserlis talking about him before a fantastic performance of the 1st cello concerto at the Proms this week. You can listen again to the concert here, but only until Saturday.

This week’s Carnival of Space is up, and it’s a particularly good one so if Galaxy Zoo hasn’t eaten your time then head over there now.

Can it really be a week? The launch of Galaxy Zoo will live long in the memory for sheer strangeness as the sudden realisation that what for a while has seemed like a crazy idea was actually going to work.
Let me back up a bit. Some of the work I’ve been doing here in Oxford [...]
Hi
I’ll post a proper update about Galaxy Zooand more amazing images later, but I wanted to respond to those of you clamouring for extra buttons. For now, the task is to get a sense of how the galaxies fit into these two major classifications. They’re used almost routinely in the literature as shorthand for two [...]
Just a very brief update on Galaxy Zoo. We’ve reached our target of more than 30,000 users and have just upgraded the hardware behind the site to make sure we can cope with as many people as once. We’re hoping to get a couple of new features up on the site in the next 24 [...]
Read More...I’m currently in a talk by Richard Ellis of Caltech as part of this Imperial college organised conference. He’s expected to announce the discovery of the most distant objects known. Currently he’s arguing that many stars, some of them old are in place by a redshift of 6, the most distant epoch we’ve seen in [...]
Read More...I’ve been absolutely stunned by the initial reaction to Galaxy Zoo; so many emails with so many fantastic images. Perhaps my favourite, found by beccamecca13 whoever she (or he) may be, is below, but there’s lots more where that came from. We’re on BBC News and if your hands strayed toward the ‘email your friends’ [...]
Read More...Our latest round up is now available, so go over to Living Space for all that’s new in (and in this case, before) our Universe. Rover expert Doug Ellison of Unmanned Spaceflight brings us up to date with news from Mars, and you should listen to the end to find out what rock music sounds [...]
