@TheBadAstronomer As I understand it, most of the rotational and orbital motions in our solar system are in an direct (Eastward) direction, and that all of the planets except Venus and Uranus rotate in a direct direction, but I was wondering; what about the rotations/revolutions of all the moons?
May I suggest that you make a video about direct/retrograde motions, revolutions and rotations, and perhaps explain to us what this implies about the formation of the solar system.
..Nice vid, btw. :)

To those (Pratchett fans?) who prefer the term 'widdershins';
Widdershins doesn't actually mean anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise), it means opposite to the direction of rotation. When talking about clocks widdershins = anti-clockwise, but when talking about things that rotate in an anti-clockwise direction widdershins = clockwise.
Still, what a lovely word, eh? :)

@Century25 What in the hell are you talking about? Have you even heard of this project before now? Obviously not.

The 'galaxy zoo' part of the so-called 'citizen science initiative', is a very dirty trick against TRUE SCIENCE..!!! Scientists DO NOT WANT OR NEED a bunch of uneducated, untrained - well meaning, perhaps, but worse than worthless - people, totally polluting the hard science (that WE NEED..!) - with myths, mythical lore, and terminology that is worse than useless.
The reason behind this junk ? Bible thumping dark-agers..!! The WAR against science.. NEVER EVER ENDS..! Don't ever forget it.

Galaxy zoo has grown into 5 different sites now. As well as classifying galaxies you can hunt supernovae, cosmic mergers, classify the moon and my favourite Solar Stormwatch where you watch for CMEs. All great fun and real science of benefit to us all. (zooniverse instead of galaxyzoo is the address for the 5 sites)
