Help science, contribute to Galaxy Zoo. Look at pictures of stars and galaxies that people have never seen before. And since we're mostly hurricane nuts here, the main thing you're expected to do : determine whether a galaxy is spinning clockwise or counterclockwise, is even easier.

That's simple, if the galaxy is in the northern hemisphere, it spins CCW, if its in the southern hemisphere it spins CW.
Oh wait, thats hurricanes. Sheesh, they both look the same to me.
Blobs, spirals, and clouds, OH MY.
