“Traffic lights”. Does anyone know what these things are – they look like dumb-bells with the left side red and the right side green and are all over this area of the survey.
This blog has no official affiliation with Galaxyzoo.org or SDSS.
But, when we discovered that galaxyzoo.org was having trouble getting their forum up, I created this blog as an unofficial forum. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, post links, and I'll highlight the best of the best!
TIPS FOR SUBMITTING GALAXIES
#1) When you think you've found an image you want to submit to the blog, click on its reference #, which is near the upper-right of the photo.
This takes you to a page with a bunch of scientific gobbledygook, BUT, then you should click on the picture you see - this will give you the full photo, which is really important - because it's the full photo we want on the blog - those smaller photos are simply enlargements of this one.
#2) Right-click that big photo and select "copy link location" or something like that - and that is the URL we need to efficiently evaluate and post the galaxy. Then paste the URL into a comment, and send!
