Explanation: You, too, can Zoo. The Galaxy Zoo project has been enabling citizen scientists -- inquisitive people like yourself armed with only a web browser-- to sort through the universe.

Once again, it's quarterly fundraising time, and we appreciate anything you can do for us, even if it's just good wishes. I'm still home on and off, so if you don't get a thank you right away, just hang on, I'll get back eventually.
Let us know if we miss anything interesting overnight, because, you guys keep us going.
