Galaxy Zoo
Visitors to galaxyzoo.org get to see stunning images of galaxies. By classifying some of these images visitors are helping astronomers to understand the structure of the universe. The new digital images were taken using the robotic Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope in New Mexico.

Going Nova
Going Nova was established three years ago to identify for the Highlands and Islands the key areas of knowledge that need to be drawn on locally to sustain and develop the economy and community life of the region – and the routes to applying them. Some of the new areas are quite abstract, for development over time; others have immediate practical benefit.
