This evening, working at classifying on Galaxyzoo 11, I was presented with an image unlike anything I had seen before. It filled most of the screen in a ;yellow and golden light with in the centre a brighter still patch AND A SMALL BLUE SQUARE. The square was a real square, with corners. ?The whole thing looked like an explosion, but the square was something else altogether. The image disappeared while I was trying to find its number and I was unable to get it back again. Maybe the boffins can trace it? My usesr name is Yes, if that's any help.

Thanks for the explanation, Edd. JKHC. Very exciting and promising new samples, indeed ! Thanks for the explanation, Edd.

That sample image looks like a 3 armed spiral to me - possibly even a 4 although the arm at "2 o'clock" looks rather weak. I hope that these improved images will allow more accurate classification. I think that the big benefit will be separating fainter elongated ellipticals from faint edge-on spirals. In the original Stipe82 images all faint galaxies appeared red and that must have led to an overclassification of ellipticals.

Is there a way to find the revised version of an image in My Galaxies? The improvements are much appreciated!
