Many thanx to Chris and the Team for allowing me to be a part of this brilliant public project which I learned about through “The Sky at Night”. I have enjoyed it immensely,but it seems that right now I cannot logon to the site and I wonder if this part of the project has come to an end. I have identified over 3000 galaxies to date and look forward to the next stage if there is to be one.

[...] So I log in to discover that Phil has linked to me, with the top post being something only of interest to us British folk. Obviously, if you are from the UK you should Save Astronomy, but perhaps the rest of you might want to check out what it feels like to observe on top of Mauna Kea, or to have your research visited by tens of thousands of people, or even a lesser known story from the recent AAS conference. No? Then at least find out how astronomers die. [...]

I had heard of this project before, but came to it through Brian May’s site. It is an amazingly absorbing occupation and I’m delighted to be here and to take part.

i first heard about this galaxy zoo project on the sky at night. i took the trial, identified my first galaxy, and i was hooked. brilliant idea, great site. i’ve discovered, what others more experienced than myself have described as a possible blackhole, among other beautifully breathtaking wonders. keep up the good work and may this be the first of many such experiments involving the general public and amateur enthusiasts.

Over the years, many people have declared that Astronomy and Space activity in general are of little or no relevance to the lives of “ordinary” people. The uptake of Distributed Computing- begun back in 1999 by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence SETI@Home project ( 5million members+), is now clearly a major phenomenon in science and society,and a sign that matters beyond the Earth remain of consuming interest to many of all ages. We now know, after all, that we live in a cosmic ecosystem.
Perhaps people are not “ordinary” after all.
Given much of the contemporary scene , this would appear to be just as well!

Wow! I am a pharmacist but always wanted to be an astronomer and look at the stars and such. However, I have lived in Louisiana (USA) all my life and there are not many clear nights for viewing. This program is wonderful and I am having a blast! Thank you for sharing this adventure with all of us.
