Daily Telegraph
« on: October 15, 2007, 09:13:53 am »
The news reported in the 'News from the front line' thread above - that our preliminary results indicate an excess of galaxies rotating anticlockwise rather than clockwise, and that we need to check whether this is human bias or not - is reported in today's Daily Telegraph.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/10/15/scistars115.xml

We should stress (more than the article does) that these are very provisional results and we're hanging on to standard cosmology for now...

It is the first time in my life that I have ever bought a copy of the Telegraph on my way home.

(I read The Independent.)

Update: ;D ;D ;D It's on page 13 and they've got the web address of Galaxy Zoo and this forum at the bottom of the article!

The article is also on their online site (for anyone who doesn't want to buy the paper ;) ).

p.s. Not sure how long the article will remain on the site.

Of course it is - I had just found it on the web site so was too exited to remember that it had been posted before ::)

I get the Telegraph every day I can, and was delighted to see the article. I proudly pointed it out to my wife, who is generally more interested in earthly matters. She was suitably impressed, and confessed to thinking a bit more in cosmic terms about our trials and tribulations, putting them into perspective, since I had been banging on about GZ. A result you no doubt weren't considering when you started this thing, but a result none the less! :-*

Roll on GZ2  ;)

P.S. Rather spookily, as I was writing this, Blink_182's song 'I'm on another planet with you' was playing on the radio.......

Great to have posted that article!! Thanks. I have forwarded it to several people who might be interested. Perhaps BBC World can pick it up on their website in science and technology.
