Citizen Science Month: Citizen Science for the Stars!

Citizen Science for the Stars
Join scientists from four NASA citizen science projects on Zoom, April 13!

April is Citizen Science Month! And this month, scientists from four NASA citizen science projects will be speaking live at “Citizen Science for the Stars” on April 13 at 6pm PT/ 9 pm ET. Join SciStarter and NASA’s Night Sky Network on Zoom and ask your questions about Jupiter, Solar Jets, Extrasolar Planets and Peter Pan Disks! You’ll hear a brief overview of citizen science, SciStarter and the NASA Night Sky Network, and meet some awesome scientists:

Dr. Lindsay Glesener from Solar Jet Hunter

Dr. Steven Silverberg from Disk Detective

Dr. Candy Hansen-Koharcheck from JunoCam

Nora Eisner from Planet Hunters TESS

NASA’s TESS Spots Record-Breaking Stellar Triplets

Professional and amateur astronomers teamed up with artificial intelligence to find an unmatched stellar trio called TIC 290061484, thanks to cosmic “strobe lights” captured by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite).  The system contains a set of twin stars orbiting each other every 1.8 days, and a third star that circles the pair in just […]

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.
