I mentioned recently that I’ve just moved house. If you want an exciting view of my new home you can see it here, courtesy of the BBC (the segment starts at about 16:30)!

Perhaps more excitingly, you can see my housemate Joe Zuntz talking about the iPhone application he’s written for Galaxy Zoo. As I’ve mentioned before, Galaxy Zoo is an online project to enlist the help of thousands of members of the public in classifying millions of images of galaxies taken automatically by telescope, so that the data can be more effectively used for scientific study. With this new app iPhone users can classify galaxies during spare time on the train or elsewhere. (It’s a bit of a shame the BBC segment doesn’t mention that the main Galaxy Zoo website lets you classify them online without a smart phone.)
