Agency experts will participate in this year’s digital experience with featured sessions and informative panel discussions on topics ranging from space exploration to diversity and inclusion.

View the full list of panels with NASA participants.

Citizen Science Talk at SXSW will be held Tuesday, March 16, 2021 11:15 AM.:

By All, For All: Citizen Science to Reveal Cosmos

Confirming an exoplanet from another solar system, fighting light pollution to view the cosmos or refining the trajectory and the shape of an asteroid coming near our Earth: The uncharted space territories can now be explored by the people, leading to a much better understanding of our cosmic surroundings. Come chat with NASA about Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, the SETI Institute, Globe@Night and citizen astronomers from the Unistellar network to learn how you too can join this space journey.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
