Monitoring the health of an estuary as big and important as the #ChesapeakeBay takes more than a village! As part of Chesapeake Water Watch, you'll use your smartphone to make observations that scientists will use to train satellites to help: bit.ly/41t5Kq9 #CitSciMonth
It'll feel like you're playing a hi-tech coloring game, but as a NEMO-Net volunteer, you'll actually help train a supercomputer to assess coral reef health — literally saving Nemo!🪸 Your chance to make a difference, right at your fingertips: nemonet.info #CitSciMonth
In Arctic regions, people rely on iced-over waterways to get around, even in spring. As a Fresh Eyes on Ice volunteer, you'll measure/report ice status to keep people safe and help scientists study how Arctic regions respond to climate change: fresheyesonice.org #CitSciMonth
Researching winter weather in mountainous US regions is no small feat– the human eye is way better than any sensor at distinguishing snow from rain. Your reports of Mountain Rain or Snow can help improve forecasting: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
Landslides kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars worth of property annually. You can help improve the way we predict/respond to these disasters by reporting landslides to the Landslide Reporter project, online. Get involved: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
How can we better understand/protect freshwater in lakes? With the Lake Observations by #CitizenScientists & Satellites project, you'll take lake height readings to help validate satellite data and study lake water dynamics. Find a LOCSS lake: go.nasa.gov/3TXY6B3 #CitSciMonth
It's Earth Day! While you're outside enjoying our planet, NASA satellites are overhead, making Earth observations. You can help validate that data by sharing your own observations on the ground via the GLOBE Observer app! Make a difference: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
This week, we shared many ways you can explore all the wonder of space while doing science. Which projects will you try? Be sure to report your #CitSciMonth contributions to #OneMillionActsOfScience (bit.ly/4cAWc1A). Next week, we’re returning to our home planet: Earth!
Love beautiful pictures of Jupiter? The JunoCam project might be for you! Upload your own telescopic images to help the Juno team plan the mission or download and process JunoCam images to share your creations and contribute to science: missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam #CitSciMonth
People everywhere are teaming up to hunt for asteroids as part of the International Astronomical Search Collaboration. With your own set of high-quality astronomical data, you can make original astronomical discoveries. Get started: bit.ly/43U3b1D #CitSciMonth
While near-Earth asteroids pose a potential threat, they also teach us about the origins of our solar system and could be important resources for space travelers. Learn to spot asteroids as a volunteer with the Daily Minor Planet: bit.ly/3JBFRgh #CitSciMonth
Ever look up at the sky and wonder what else might be out there? Well, good news! You can join the watch! 👀 As a volunteer with Exoplanet Watch, you'll join a community that collects data to help verify possible planets. Discover new worlds: go.nasa.gov/42KGdt1 #CitSciMonth
What is the Universe telling us? Massive explosions called gamma-ray bursts often tell a story about how stars die or how massive black holes form. Join the Burst Chaser project to help astronomers decode the story these bursts tell: bit.ly/3sgsvAK #CitSciMonth
Where do planets form? It’s elementary, my dear Watson! Some stars are surrounded by disks - vast spinning clouds of gas, dust, and rock. This is where planets form and dwell. Scientists need our help finding these disks! Help solve the case: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
Unbelievable sights,
indescribable feelings,
soaring, tumbling, freewheeling…
With your telescope!
You can join a global network of galactic explorers and discover 🎵 a whole new world 🎵 beyond our solar system as part of the UNITE project: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
What's hanging out in our celestial neighborhood? Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project volunteers have helped scientists identify 4,000+ cosmic objects in our Sun’s backyard. See what they've found and how you can help: go.nasa.gov/3vTuzQW #CitSciMonth
Want to help shape the future of space technology?
NASA is seeking feedback on technologies that require further development to meet exploration, science, and other mission needs. Tell us what you think during #CitSciMonth and through May 13th: go.nasa.gov/4aQZTys
1 galaxy, 2 galaxies, 3 galaxies, 4: Be a Dark Energy Explorer & see if there’s more!
Volunteers use data from 1 of the world's largest telescopes to help identify galaxies ~11 billion light years away. Want to help? Welcome to the dark side: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
What has an orbit like an asteroid but a tail like a comet?
It’s an active asteroid! ☄️
With the Active Asteroid project, you'll search images for asteroids with comet-like tails and help scientists discover clues about water in the Universe: science.nasa.gov/citizen-scienc… #CitSciMonth
