LOVE NASA? LOVE SCIENCE? VOLUNTEER TO DO REAL NASA SCIENCE!
NASA’s volunteer scientists are searching NASA data for new
worlds, asteroids, and comets. They are tracking the impacts of
climate change on lake levels, coral reefs, and mosquito populations.
Hundreds of volunteers have co-authored publications in
professional journals. Many have made new, lasting friendships
with NASA scientists and with one another. Scientific discoveries
made by NASA volunteers include:
• Hundreds of extrasolar planets
• Thousands of brown dwarf stars
• 100,000s of emperor penguin nests
• Most of the known comets
• A new kind of aurora phenomenon
Our volunteer projects, sometimes called “citizen science” projects
are open to everyone around the world, and not limited to U.S.
citizens or residents. They aim to teach you everything you need to
know as you go along - so don’t worry if you never studied science
or forgot what you learned in school. Pick one and try it out!
Just be ready: there are no guaranteed results, and sometimes the
answers will remain unknown. But if you’re tired of just reading
about other people’s groundbreaking discoveries and ready to get
involved, visit science.nasa.gov/citizenscience.
Projects with the require no prior knowledge, experience, or
special tools beyond a computer or smartphone. Other projects
may involve going to a specific location or using tools such as a
backyard telescope.
