Dr Steven Bamford, a senior research fellow in the
University's Centre for Astronomy and Particle Theory, created an unusual font
as part of his work with Galaxy Zoo—a Citizen Science project that enlists
members of the public to classify the observable universe's billions of
galaxies on the web.
The Galaxy Zoo volunteers have classified over a million
galaxies over the past five years—and found some which look strangely familiar.
These were used to create My Galaxies, an online tool which allows you to write
messages using these unusually-shaped galaxies.
