We’re no stranger to the Hubble telescope here at Gizmodo, but our relationship up until this point has been a passive one. Today, however, NASA is asking the public were to point it.
There are six targets in all, and NASA is currently conducting a poll to figure out which one to survey using the venerable (and at times glitch-ridden) space telescope.
Voting concludes March 1, so you have some time to deliberate and research your choice. “Spiral Galaxy: NGC 5172″ currently leads, followed by the plucky “Interacting Galaxies: Arp 274″ in second, and the moxie-filled “Star-Forming Region: NGC 6634″ is in third.
And guys, a quick aside, if you will. These are space-only locations. “Cute Girl’s Window in the Apartment Across the Street” is not one of the options. [Hubble Site via Tom's Astronomy Blog]
