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

    Happy birthday to us.

    Galaxy Zoo is three years old today. Three years ago, I opened my laptop in the back of a Royal Astronomical Society meeting, connected my laptop to the rather flakey wifi network and noticed the site had crashed under the sheer weight of demand.
