    Brilliant Marley they are in the process of re-booting the hubble computers at the moment they were shut down to prevent damage a while ago,some re programming to take place and a visit by the shuttle to do some upgrades later and to think they were going to shut it down.
    Just a few I helped to classify on Galaxy Zoo. not as good as the Hubble but it's a start.

    If only Marley, mabe when I get my telescope of choice, these galaxies are identified by numbers some have never been seen the idea is to get all the ones catalogued, we just identify the type they are,some interesting theories bantered about on the forum,worth a visit if you want to know the secret of the universe.http://www.galaxyzoo.org/GalaxyAnalysis.aspx

    when you consider space and time, you have to believe in life after death, and that nothing just ends. give's me hope anyway. Thanks the the pics,

    Biguns the more you look the more you realise there is a lot going on out there that cannot be explained one question Ikeep asking myself is "who created the creator"?

    "Who created the creator?" is a question asked by Richard Dawkins. Walnut, I guess we read the same authors and share the same beliefs:thumb: as well as a love for Brugs:D

    Hi, walnut. Never worried about that question. It wasn't relevant to my beliefs. (It is now, when I visit Muslim countries!!)
    R.D. just explains things simply.
    I never understood the "Theory of Relativity" until Bronowski explained it..
    That's a beautiful Aurora. I've only seen that twice from this country.
    I don't think R.D. grows Brugs, I think he just grows enemies:lollol:
