Galaxy Zoo

Since I have pretty much nothing to do at work right now, I've been spending some time on Galaxy Zoo. It's an online astronomy project, using the many-eyeballs approach to classify images of very distant galaxies. The interface is sort of like one of those Cool Image Or Not sites, but instead of rating 1-10, you hit a button for "clockwise spiral" or "elliptical galaxy" or whatever the image shows.

The rules say to email them if you spot anything really unusual or strange. I think I may have to do that for this image:


...because I can't seem to find a classification button for "Great A'Tuin".
