Join Us for an “Introduction to Do NASA Science, LIVE!” a Virtual, Interactive Event Series

A robot leans in from the bottom right corner of the image, with a red bird sitting on its hand. In the background, a satellite makes observations of a blue and green Earth as stars sparkle in the dark blue space background. The text in the image reads: Do NASA Science LIVE” next to the NASA Partner logo. Underneath the image, the text says, “Virtual Event Series from SciStarter”.

Join us online on April 4, 2023, from 2-3 p.m. EDT for an “Introduction to Do NASA Science LIVE!”. During this event, citizen science experts from NASA and SciStarter will describe how and why NASA works with the public to accelerate important research.

This event kicks off a series of free events from now through April 2024 where you’ll meet online with scientists and other volunteers to learn about and participate in NASA-funded research projects. This “Introduction to Do NASA Science LIVE!” event is your chance to provide input on what topics and activities you’d like to experience throughout this series.

“Every time I see scientists and volunteers get together like this, magic seems to happen,” said NASA Astrophysicist and Citizen Science Officer Dr. Marc Kuchner. “I can’t wait to meet everybody at these events.”

NASA supports a variety of different collaborations between scientists and interested members of the public who use their phones, computers, or tablets to share local observations or analyze NASA data. Volunteers help scientists find new planets, ground-truth satellite data, track changes in weather and climate, and more. Millions of people participate in these NASA-funded science projects. More than 400 volunteers have become co-authors on refereed articles in scientific journals as a result!

Funded by NASA, “Do NASA Science LIVE!” is produced by SciStarter, a citizen science hub, and the Citizen Science Association. Events will include week-long campaigns focused on a single project, provide overviews as well as deep dives into projects to train volunteers, feature social hours to chat with project scientists, and more. Everyone is welcome!

Registration for the “Introduction to Do NASA Science LIVE!” is now open: https://tinyurl.com/IntroDoNASAScienceLIVE

This is a Hubble Space Telescope image of the barred spiral galaxy UGC 12158. The majestic galaxy has a pinwheel shape made up of bright blue stars wound around a yellow-white hub of central stars. The hub has a slash of stars across it, called a bar. The galaxy is tilted face-on to our view from Earth. A slightly s-shaped white line across the top is a Hubble image is of an asteroid streaking across Hubble's view. It looks dashed because the image is a combination of several exposures of the asteroid flying by like a race car.

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.
