“Hanny and the Mystery of the Voorwerp” goes live!

Here we are again, representing Galaxy Zoo at Dragon*Con. This is an enormous gathering of science-fiction and fantasy fans, aficionados of science, gaming, costuming, offbeat music – all packed into downtown Atlanta’s five largest conference hotels, every Labor Day holiday weekend.

    What the Keck telescope can see and the Sloan telescope can’t are the two red smudges in the blue glow of the Quasar. These smudges are in fact one Pea gravitationally lensed by the QSO sitting in front of it!
