Space is a big place, and even with their giant telescopes, astronomers just can’t cover it all. This is where you come in. Yes, YOU!
Astronomy is one of the few scientific fields where amateur scientists can, and frequently do, make significant contributions. But now space scientists are increasingly also looking to people with little or no training for help with their research. Sometimes they are looking for free labor for tasks that humans can still do better than computers, like identifying different types of galaxies. Other times it’s numbers of eyes on the sky or feet on the ground they’re after. But more and more, they are finding ways to get regular citizens involved.
Here are some astronomy projects you can take part in right now:
Hunt for Meteorites
Mars Student Imaging Project
HiWish
Be a Martian
Stardust@Home
Galaxy Zoo and Moon Zoo
