      Yippee..we’re going to be UFO spotting! I think the answer is Area 51. Where are the multi-armed spirals like our very own?

    2. I can see that gravitational lensing is on the agenda. Interesting array of buttons. Thanks for the great preview.

      I am so pleased you didn’t go for the lime green ones. :D

      Yeah, the lime green was …. interesting. :D
      We were trying to think of a colour for the buttons that would minimise bias — and there really aren’t any “green” galaxies.

      What about the highly suggestive looking ones? I bet we will find a galaxy shaped exactly like a thingy. Still what about asteroids the lil’ fellas need some tracking

      Hi Ciaron, are you the Ciaron who was studying ring galaxies? I hope you’re still learning lots of astronomy!

      What about peas then Kevin??

      I like the “stingray” button . . . :D

      Does anyone else get the feeling that if they were on a little keypad and we pressed them, they’d all make the most delightful “beep”ing noises? :D :D :D

      Aw gee! You’re teasing us – dangling these titbits on a piece of string and just out of reach.

      Congrats on the progress to date and looking forward to “Son of Galaxy Zoo” or maybe “Galaxy Zoo Redux”. But I guess you’ve got to maintain the view within the Academic World that it is really serious…so “Galaxy Zoo 2″ it is.
