Now I have seen the link, I realise I am only half way. However, hopefully I am less than half way through my life too. Nick Hi Chris,
I understand that you need time to check and want to be sure. Now I have seen the link, I realise I am only half way. However, hopefully I am less than half way through my life too.

I've done two of them so far and a actually going to Chankillo in Peru in just over a week which will be fascinating. I would also like to do the others on the list! I'd add a few things to the list: 1. Spending a night out under dark skies with a group of friends, students, children introducing them to the night sky. 2. Visiting any of the great observatories of the world. They've listed Mauna Kea which I hope to get to in 2009 but there any many other great ones. Hi Chris

An interesting list. I’ve done two of them so far and a actually going to Chankillo in Peru in just over a week which will be fascinating. I would also like to do the others on the list!

But unless you really hate the idea, I don't think any astronomer's life is complete unless they've gone to a local school and either started or got involved with an astronomy club!

We're working on the details of the results...sorry for not saying more now, but we want to be absolutely sure of what we're saying. Thanks for the correction.

It is good to see you blogging again. I am very curious about the Galaxy Zoo results too. How large a volume of galaxies does it represent. Is it all over the SDSS, or a subset of data? Is the bias a function of magnitude or size or inclination (ellipticity), colour or redshift? Regards, Nick Hi Chris,
