Galaxy Zoo
Its a three way overlap
This one is Hanny; no it’s definitely that one!
Bill looks skeptical as Chris says ‘look, we’ve caught infinity on film!’
Don’t remove the dust off the pictures!
Surely not another Voorwerp!
‘But I thought the black-and-white images were
only for bias testing?’
‘Well, for colour, you would have to pay more.
Besides, the printer’s run out of ink.’
From A to Z :- Secret Agents A ( Anna ), B ( Bill ), C ( Chris )on a night safari to stock up GZ.
Guys, you really don’t need to spoil your time on discussions about what should be the next Object Of The Day, our lovely moderators are taking care of that, really, don’t worry! 😉
Before Galaxy zoo we had to do it all this way…
Chris was convinced it was ET’s fingerprint that they had found on the cookie jar.
“I thought we were here to do astronomy, not sleep-inducing desktop publishing”.
“No, Chris, you still haven’t laid them out properly. Look – the angle between that one and that one is almost two degrees. Where’s the protractor?”
“Try as they might, the world’s leading team still could not get the pictures to resemble the superior columns of scary data on the computer screens.”
(I should have asked – are we allowed more than one go?)
“No, seriously, Bill, if we sent the Zooship Enterprise to invade this area first . . .”
You see!….It’s not blue in this image. I told you Kevin was using Photoshop to make that elliptical look blue!
Mind out, Anna! There’s a wire about to hang you!
“…well I still say It’s a rock!”
This one is the prettiest!
No, this one is much prettier!!
Have either of you considered the beauty of _THIS_ one here!?!?
See? It *is* the face of Elvis!
You call that a SABbc???
That’s not even close to a SABbc, that’s a SABab on a good day!!!
Don’t you kids know anything?!?!?!
All these targets to chose from and you have to pick one which doesn’t rise ’till 4 am !
Eeny, Meany, Mini, Mo…
This is the best route for the new offramp to the intergalactic bypass – right here!
After the witnesses identified the suspects from the photo lineup, they were quickly arrested.
And this is one of me in the garden, when I got my first telescope.
Bill: “No Chris, it’s not your turn yet, Anna had a match”
“Now it was at around the co-ordinate of this one that I had to expel Zooite No. 41 from my suitcase . . .”
“Now this is Arwen, overlapping Strider . . .”
“You must introduce them to Ptolemy and Jeannie . . .”
During a cloudy moment Bill checks for cheating as Chris and Anna play pin the black hole on the galaxy.
“Get into a more impressive pose! This is for a competition!”
Hide the beer and crisps quick and just point randomly – they’ll never know….
See that’s why we should have turned left at Orion !
Hurrah ! We will get the Nobel Prize for sure. We have found a BLACK HOLE. No, it’s a WORM HOLE. Oh, no. It’s a… a… a…HOLE in the paper. Then we are really in a deep ” S_ _ T ” HOLE!!!
P.S. The moderator will surely edit the letters in inverted commas.
“OK, yeah, that’ll do for a place to put naughty zooites in . . . it’s where to put the good ones that worries me . . .” 😉
the loser of ‘spot the difference’ would have to make the tea
“There! The place is called “M1″ and they serve a delicious crab”
“Magrathea is a myth! A fairy story! It’s what parents tell their kids at night if they want them to grow up to be economists. And …”
“… and we are currently in orbit around it.”
“Where are we Trillian?”
“Exactly where we were I think.”
“Then what’s happened to the missiles?”
“Well, er, according to this screen they’ve just turned into a bowl of petunias and a very surprised-looking whale.”
No finger pointing, please. If we did not find anything useful let’s face the music as real astronomers do – look to heaven for inspiration !
If we do not succeed in finding the cosmic dust we are looking for we can surely apply our expertise to chimney sweeping with guaranteed success.
“alright, who sneezed on this one???”
“What in the Galaxy are they going to come up with to say about this picture of us, then?”
When you said you had a big stamp collection you weren’t kidding!….Christ how big were the envelopes these things went on!
“OK… If I put my finger here like this, and we all look at these pictures, it’ll make it look like we’re working.”
“I’ll have the austrian blind with matching pelmet”
Well I think the Roman blind with matching pelmet
If you let your eyes go out of focus, you’ll see a 3D image of mickey Mouse!
There’s someone pulling a face in every one of these wedding photographs!
