The Sky at Night - Galaxy Zoo

Logo for The Sky at Night - Galaxy Zoo

Only a tiny fraction of the billions of galaxies in our Universe have ever been seen, yet sorting them into beautiful spirals and giant ellipticals remains a task best carried out not by computers but by the human brain. Sir Patrick Moore looks at the results recorded by more than 150,000 volunteers who've taken part in the Galaxy Zoo project, and talks to a Dutch schoolteacher who discovered something unique.
