Whale FM and Voorwerpje News from Galaxy Zoo
Greetings,It's that time of the year again: the doors of the 2011 Zooniverse advent calendar are now opening up at http://zooniverse.org/advent - festive fun every day from across the Zooniverse. In fact day 2 of the calendar links to a curious online game featuring everyone's favourite Voorwerp!
In more serious Galaxy Zoo news, we've the Hubble Space Telescope time we were granted to observe the Voorwerpjes - unusual galaxies identified by the denizens of the Galaxy Zoo forum - has already resulted in the first data being returned. You can see the raw images on our blog (http://blogs.zooniverse.org/galaxyzoo/2011/11/08/first-look-at-hubbles-first-look-at-the-first-voorwerpje/)
and we expect more to come in 2012. We'll be blogging them as they arrive.
Galaxy Zoo's parent, the Zooniverse, also launched a new project this
week: Whale FM, where we're asking everyone to help decode what whales are saying to each other. Tune in and check it out at http://whale.fm.
Happy classifying and thanks again for all your hard work,
Yours,
Chris and the Galaxy Zoo team.
