Galaxy drumstick, anyone?
Over the past six years, Galaxy Zoo volunteers have spotted innumerable patterns in the shapes of regular, merging, and fortuitously overlapping galaxies in the various surveys. While we’ve had great success with letters of the alphabet and with animals, searches of both the Forum and Talk haven’t revealed many turkeys so far. In recognition of Thanksgiving in the U.S. this week, we offer this turkey drumstick (or tofurkey, if you’re a veggie like some team members) spotted last year by volunteer egalaxy.
A galaxy (or pair?) at z=0.436, spotted in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble
For those of you who get them, enjoy the break — and let us know what you think about this interesting galaxy (or possible overlapping pair)!
Well . . . there is this rooster for those who don’t like turkey? 🙂 http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=278358.msg500900#msg500900
It’s not a turkey, it’s … an alien spider (has fewer than 8 legs) attempting to swallow a sword!
