While folk are rapping their knuckles on the table and waiting for the final results to come in for the Intermediate Awards...here is a little pastime which would also be most helpful to the scientific community if you are interested in that sort of stuff.

The project leader was on the BBC radio news last week, saying that they are now getting much better images of far away galaxies, but do not have the people or the funding to process the data, which computers are not good at analyzing...it needs human beings to look at the pictures and grade them.....

Rather than bore you with my explanation of the project, here's the link...
