Brief Description: Cannibalism on galactic scale. Two galaxies hurling silently through space feel the other's gravitational pull long before contact. Forces akin to the tides on Earth tug at and distort the galaxies cores as they continue to rotate. Spiral arms can be ripped apart or explode into a burst of blue lights as new star are nudged into existence by waves of energy. Not only are these interacting galaxies beautiful to look at, but also they hold many clues to the birth and death of galaxies themselves. Use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Hands-On Universe image processing software to look for your own interacting galaxy and work with astronomers to read their stories. Contribute what you find to the body of knowledge that seeks to solve the mystery of the lives of galaxies.

In the forty years since quasars were first recognized as a new classification of celestial objects, scientists are still probing their mysteries. Astronomers are very interested in how quasars' light levels change with time. Join the hunt for patterns in quasar variability: Choose a candidate from all the quasars captured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), request additional images from a large telescope and plot the quasar's light curve. If your work is approved by a mentor/astronomer you will be invited to submit your findings to an on-line catalogue of data that can be accessed by other astronomers.
