So, one of the new hobbies I've picked up this summer is classifying galaxies for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at Galaxy Zoo. It's relatively easy, classifying on shape and then on direction of rotation, if it is spinning (spiral galaxies). You can rely on images alone if you know nothing about galaxies and astronomy, or you can use the reference material provided for each image via a link. Galaxy Zoo also has a forum, filled with analysis tips, stunning sights, weird phenomenon and *gasp* galaxy humor. Yes folks, galaxy humor exists and astronomers DO have a sense of humor. As mind-boggling as that may be, the sights to be found, both during analysis and trolling the forum pages, are the true wonder.
Here's just a small taste. One of the things I've learned on the forums is that galaxies like to hang out in groups like hoods on a street corner. This gang consists of spirals, edge-on spirals, ellipticals and ringed ellipticals. The only classifications not represented here are merging and irregular galaxies.
