Thanks Nick.

I've been following it for some time although I haven't signed up. One odd thing thrown up is this:

Amateur stargazers map a 'lopsided' universe

GULP! Just clicked on that link, and the dreaded 'blue page of death' quickly followed telling me that the memory had been dumped.  scared2:

WTF was THAT all about then, and why have I been able to get back in?

It's a link to The Telegraph online. It shouldn't be a problem although I have noticed that the Telgraph's website always takes a while to load.

Professional astronomers had asked the public for assistance in mapping the night sky, and were stunned when they received millions of hits on their website within a few days, enabling them to classify galaxies in the universe at rocket speed.

The response has been so great that within a couple of months the Galaxy Zoo project has completed a preliminary analysis of the heavens which would normally take years.

The survey has revealed that the collections of millions of stars, dust, gas and planets in galaxies prefer to rotate anticlockwise from the viewpoint of an observer on Earth.

Traditionally astronomers have believed that galaxies would spin either clockwise or anti-clockwise in equal proportion. But these observations would seem to suggest that either a mysterious force is acting on them or that the universe is in some way lopsided.

Nowt to do with 'tight' as you so eloquently put it, I just don't like the prospect of changing everything and getting stuck in cyber space, that's all, you baldy lumpy headed shin smashed old paint pod knob. ::)
