Help Classify Galaxies
The Galaxy Zoo project contains photos of almost a quarter of a million galaxies which have been imaged with a camera attached to a robotic telescope. In order to understand how these galaxies formed, scientists need your help to classify them according to their shapes – a task at which your brain is better than even the fastest computer.

Mind Over Matter Experiments
Researchers have devised online tests for you to try and influence either the direction of the hands on a clock face, a line on a bell curve or the swing of a pendulum! Results are collectively aggregated with everybody else’s experiments to see if any ‘spookiness’ exists!
