[In my everyday work] I can ask the question “how many galaxies have a bar through the middle of them” and typically I would embark on a career-long quest to answer this fundamental question. I may even recruit some poor graduate student to eyeball 50,000 galaxies to answer the question (like they did with Kevin!). But now, two dayafter the launch [of Galaxy Zoo 2], we already have the data to address this question and it’s a little too fast for an old-timer like me. . . . The internet is clearly the revolutionary technology of this generation of astronomer. . . . Galaxy Zoo is an amazing demonstration of how powerful this new tool can be [when] used to address new questions.
