I’m delighted to announce that after a very successful beta test period, our first non-astrophysical project, Solar Stormwatch has gone live. Our science team, led by Chris Davis, is standing by ready to receive the results of your hard work. As he explains on his post over at the SSW blog, the results are already [...]
I’ve been working closely with Zookeeper Geza recently, to figure out how to provide better support for those of you who are doing your own research in addition to classifying galaxies. (Stay tuned for more on that.) In addition to being the awesome, Geza has a wonderful analogy for what we are all working together [...]
This morning we made some major changes to the way you manage your account with Galaxy Zoo and the Zooniverse. Previously all account management (e.g. changing your email address) was done through the Galaxy Zoo site however the changes that we made this morning have moved those pages to the Zooniverse Home.
From the Zooniverse [...]
From Raul Jimenez, the lead author of this paper.
Dear galaxy zooers,
Our paper on the correlation of spins and past star formation was accepted today to the MNRAS. This was after a very positive and insightful referee report, which helped us make the paper stronger. next steps are to look for the effect in numerical simulations [...]
Thanks to everyone for their efforts so far. Now that we have had a significant number of storms tracked, we can start looking at the data in order to see how we are progressing but please carry on tracking those storms! I'll let you know as soon as anything interesting.. (Read More)

Speaking of the long-awaited Hubble observations of Hanny's Voorwerp - where are they? We know certain windows when each can be done, and is supposed to be carried out. One such week-long window has already gone by without getting data, so things are narrowed down a bit. The next.. (Read More)
We have some new results to show off, Hanny's Voorwerp observed using a space telescope. No, not that space telescope, that's still coming up (shortly, we hope). Soon after the initial results showed what a fascinating object Hanny's Voorwerp was proving to be, it was entered in the observing schedule for NASA'S.. (Read More)
