That's right. All you have to do is visit the Web site http://youdecide.hubblesite.org/ and cast your vote for one of the six celestial objects described and pictured there. The current vote-leader is a distant spiral galaxy named NGC 5172, about 300-million light years away in the Coma Berenices constellation, but the leader can change as more people throughout the world cast their votes. The other five objects up for the vote are: a star-forming region named NGC 6634, a planetary nebula named NGC 6072, another planetary nebula named NGC 40, an edge-on spiral galaxy named NGC 4289 and a pair of colliding galaxies named Arp 274.
