Happy Birthday HUBBLE
The Hubble Space Telescope is 20 years old on Saturday and, to mark this anniversary, all the world's space and astronomy fans have a chance to become part of the Hubble team. As part of the birthday celebrations NASA’s Space Telescope Science Institute and the online astronomy project Galaxy Zoo are making some 200,000 Hubble images of galaxies available to the public at Galaxy Zoo (www.galaxyzoo.org). They hope that volunteers looking for their own favourite galaxies will join forces to give the venerable telescope a present – classifications of each galaxy which will help astronomers understand how the Universe we see around us formed.
I think it's a great possibility to deal with my sleepless nights, and I have already noticed, that it is very addictive.
