And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space

This here is 587731868558164020, also known as an irregular star forming galaxy (blue blobs around the white one). The red thing is a star. I classified it as spiral edge on/unclear because the blue blobs sort of form an arm more than the elliptical examples do. Thankfully no one will shoot me if I am wrong, they just want our best guesses because we truly are better than algorithms at this stuff.

Instantly hooked on Galaxy Zoo, where even I of absolutely no brain left passed the exam and now get to classify galaxies with Kieran. If I start thinking about this in depth it completely blows my mind... I get to sit here on the couch with my son and classify actual galaxies which haven't been seen by human eyes before. Unbelievable. Come join the fun! Most tend to be rather unexciting blobs but I've had several pretty ones cross my path tonight.
