Hey, Disk folks! A chance to give your project a little extra publicity...
It's been a while since we've featured any DD stuff on Daily Zoo. I'd like to give Grant, who runs that, a suggestion or two of an object or something that is really standout, something that might impress even someone who doesn't know much about the project.
Got any ideas?

Hi DZM,
Maybe this: http://talk.diskdetective.org/#/subjects/AWI0001puv
I've been looking but it is difficult, it is not a good project to surprise.

Hi Darren, you may want to take a look at this double star - AWI0005yli I think is quite cool 😃

Wow, a wealth of suggestions! Thank you!! Now I just need someone to explain to me what's actually going on in any of them!
If only Zooniverse were headquartered somewhere where I could find an astronomer... looks around planetarium 😃
