Something to Do With Your Fingers (1)

When quitting smoking, there's always the consideration of what you are going to do with your hands - and the terminal digits of said appendages - when you no longer have a cigarette to play with. If you are in the unfortunate position of having nothing to play with in a cigarette's stead, yet have an interest in things scientific, I advise wandering over to Galaxy Zoo.

You can help classify galaxies into left- and right-handed spirals, ellipticals and mergers. It's fun, and you get to see photos of galaxies that possibly nobody has ever seen before (why that should be is explained at the web site).
