Astronomers release galactic collision game
« on: November 25, 2009, 22:09 »
Astronomers have devised a game to help uncover the basis of galactic pile-ups.

The game, part of the ongoing web-based project Galaxy Zoo, shows players images of colliding galaxies and asks them to match those to simulations.
