NASA returns to South by Southwest (SXSW) this year for a virtual viewing of the agency’s missions and programs during the online festival, which takes place March 9 – 11 for SXSWedu for educators and March 16 – 20 for SXSW Online. 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.

A tiled collection of logos for Zooniverse projects. Each logo consists of a square containing two concentric circles formed of thick lines plus a diagonal slash. The colors, textures, backgrounds (and sometimes foregrounds) of each logo are customized for each project. For example, a project about penguins features photographs of penguins in its logo.

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.
