How about making a calendar of the 12 best pictures for 2008 and raising funds for the project or charity? Ann/galaxybabe Hello everyone
I’ve been doing this since day one and have three personal favourites, quite unlike anything I’ve ever seen:

Are we allowed to distribute these pictures and post them on our own websites, with a note saying they’re the property of Galaxy Zoo?

How about making a calendar of the 12 best pictures for 2008 and raising funds for the project or charity?

The most amazing galaxies are just popping up on my laptop! Rather than speeding up the classifying process I find I'm now slowing down in order to really appreciate what I am seeing. It's a little like Howard Carters comments on opening Tutankhamuns tomb : "I see wonderful things". Beautiful! P.S. sorry about submitting 3 ring galaxies in the space of 10 minutes last night! Scratch, scratch! Dear Chris,
