Dear all

Good news! Thanks to the hard work of all those who took part in our
test of the Galaxy Zoo 2 site, we’re proud to tell you about the
launch the full version of Galaxy Zoo 2 at http://www.galaxyzoo.org .

Galaxy Zoo 2 will let you spend more time with each of 250,000 of the
brightest and most interesting galaxies in our survey. There will be
more beautiful galaxies, and fewer faint fuzzy blobs. In return, we’re
asking a whole set of different questions about these galaxies so we
can produce the largest and most useful catalogue yet. It’s also
easier than ever to draw our attention to the weird and wonderful, and
the new site will also keep track of your favourites among the
galaxies you come across*.

By going to http://www.galaxyzoo.org and classifying galaxies – even if you
only have time to do a few – you’ll be contributing to a scientific
project that has led to time on some of the world’s largest and most
famous telescopes (including the Hubble Space Telescope) and is
changing the way we think about how galaxies form and evolve.

Thanks for your help

Chris Lintott & the Galaxy Zoo team.
