Citizen Scientists: Data for the World
JunoCam is the "citizen science" camera on board Juno. As the spacecraft orbits Jupiter, JunoCam snaps pictures of the planet from different angles and radial distances, targeting features identified in part through the collaborative efforts of the amateur astronomer community. JunoCam’s imagery is sent back to Earth and posted to the Mission Juno website, where the general public may download them for subsequent image processing. The images processed by these citizen scientists are returned to the Mission Juno website and range from detailed scientific imagery and analyses to beautiful works of space-themed art.
"The idea that you can couple our scientific imaging and understanding of the planet, with artistic representations of not only what the planet means but what exploration means...

What is Citizen Science?
Nobody know everything but everybody knows something! Together, we can help answer important scientific research questions that affect humans, animals, the planet and even the universe. People from all walks of life share observations, log data, analyze data, and more to build knowledge on topics they are curious or concerned about. In many cases, scientists use this data to accelerate research and discovery. Scientists post instructions or "protocols" so volunteers know how to upload data (when there's not enough data) or analyze data (where there's too much data for a small team of scientists to sort through).
Thousands of these projects are organized on SciStarter.org, a free site that connects millions of people to thousands of citizen science projects. Use the SciStarter Project Fin...

Volunteers are the heart of conservation. Many such volunteers give up their time to collect scientific information, such as the number of birds in a woodland, or sightings of invasive species. These endeavours are known as ‘citizen science’. Phil investigates the diversity of citizen science projects in the UK, examines their value, and shows how you can get involved. So, grab your coat, wave your conservation themed flags, and salute the trees, as we explore the world of citizen science…

Detecting Earthquakes: AI vs. Citizen Scientists
There are over 13,000 active seismic stations out there, producing far more data than seismologists have time to go through. So, researchers set up a showdown of humans versus machines to sift through all this information and, in the process, crown the heavyweight earthquake detection champion.
The project we described in this video has ended, but many scientists recruit for citizen science projects over at https://www.zooniverse.org/.
There’s also the Did You Feel It project, where anyone who feels a rumble can fill out a quick survey and report it to the US Geological Survey: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/dyfi/.

JunoCam is the "citizen science" camera on board Juno. As the spacecraft orbits Jupiter, JunoCam snaps pictures of the planet from different angles and radial distances, targeting features identified in part through the collaborative efforts of the amateur astronomer community. JunoCam’s imagery is sent back to Earth and posted to the Mission Juno website, where the general public may download them for subsequent image processing. The images processed by these citizen scientists are returned to the Mission Juno website and range from detailed scientific imagery and analyses to beautiful works of space-themed art.
"The idea that you can couple our scientific imaging and understanding of the planet, with artistic representations of not only what the planet means but what exploration means, has been very valuable to the mission– and to the public."

Nobody know everything but everybody knows something! Together, we can help answer important scientific research questions that affect humans, animals, the planet and even the universe. People from all walks of life share observations, log data, analyze data, and more to build knowledge on topics they are curious or concerned about. In many cases, scientists use this data to accelerate research and discovery. Scientists post instructions or "protocols" so volunteers know how to upload data (when there's not enough data) or analyze data (where there's too much data for a small team of scientists to sort through).
Thousands of these projects are organized on SciStarter.org, a free site that connects millions of people to thousands of citizen science projects. Use the SciStarter Project Finder to find an event or project that matches your interests, locations, availability and more.
Follow the instructions to upload or analyze data. Most projects can be done from anywhere but some take place in specific locations or at particular times. Most do not require specialized instruments.
You'll learn a lot in the process too! From Astronomy to Zoology, there's something for everyone!
Many people get started by completing a fun, interactive tutorial at https://SciStarter.org/training .
Happy experimenting!

There are over 13,000 active seismic stations out there, producing far more data than seismologists have time to go through. So, researchers set up a showdown of humans versus machines to sift through all this information and, in the process, crown the heavyweight earthquake detection champion.
The project we described in this video has ended, but many scientists recruit for citizen science projects over at https://www.zooniverse.org/.
There’s also the Did You Feel It project, where anyone who feels a rumble can fill out a quick survey and report it to the US Geological Survey: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/dyfi/.
