As the end of 2011 gets nearer, I’ve stumbled across quite a few websites with ‘my space frog’ on them. This mostly happens on twitter (the stumbling across part). However, I also wanted to ‘retweet’ a few of them here, for the record sorta.
First, although I’m already a few days late mentioning this, there’s a new Zooniverse advent calendar this year and when opening the second door, you can play (pong) around with Hanny’s Voorwerp. Nice one, ‘keepers.
Also, at the end of a year we tend to look back, and at the start of this one – January ‘11 – we presented the Hubble picture of the Voorwerp. It amused me to find out we’re also behind door number ten of this Hubble Space Telescope advent calendar, we’re one of 50 images you can vote for on space.com (we’re number 31), and the Bad Astronomer put us in his top 24 deep space pictures of this year!
Then there was also a tweet from Govert Schilling saying his piece about our Hubble pic made it in the ScienceNOW top 10. As one of hundreds it ended 6th!
Thanks for all the posts, the noticing and sharing it everyone!
