1
00:00:02,068 --> 00:00:03,003
Hey, everyone.

2
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:05,772
Welcome in.
Welcome to our Twitch stream.

3
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:06,873
And Tahira Allen.

4
00:00:06,873 --> 00:00:09,042
And today's stream
is going to be

5
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:11,711
a little bit different than what
we think you're used to.

6
00:00:11,711 --> 00:00:14,581
But trust me,
I think you're going to like it.

7
00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:16,416
Today, we're diving into how

8
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:20,120
you can actually get involved
in real NASA science.

9
00:00:20,487 --> 00:00:21,221
And I don't mean

10
00:00:21,221 --> 00:00:25,392
just reading cool space facts
or looking at pretty space pictu

11
00:00:25,392 --> 00:00:29,929
I mean actually contributing
to NASA research

12
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:33,199
right from your computer
or even your cell phone.

13
00:00:33,466 --> 00:00:36,569
I've also got a special guest
joining us today.

14
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:39,906
We're super excited
to have doctor Marc Kuchner

15
00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:41,574
on the stream with us today.

16
00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:42,842
This is NASA's very own

17
00:00:42,842 --> 00:00:46,312
citizen science program officer
and an astrophysicist.

18
00:00:46,646 --> 00:00:49,416
He's going to help
walk us through some of these

19
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:52,552
NASA projects that we can
participate in from home

20
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:57,090
and get the kicker,
even right now on this stream.

21
00:00:57,424 --> 00:01:00,427
Hey, Marc, we're so happy
to have you here today.

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,328
Hey, Tahira.
Thanks for having me.

23
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:03,563
Thanks, everyone, for coming by.

24
00:01:05,331 --> 00:01:06,399
Yeah, absolutely.

25
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:10,003
So folks, today we're talking
about citizen science,

26
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:13,239
which is really just a fancy way
of saying science

27
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:17,544
that's powered by everyday
people like you, like me,

28
00:01:18,011 --> 00:01:22,816
and like, we've got Jared
Banky on the line right now.

29
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:24,818
We've got storm here.

30
00:01:24,818 --> 00:01:28,088
And we're super excited
to have y'all joining us today.

31
00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:29,389
Now, folks,

32
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:32,525
these projects are going to be
all kinds of cool stuff.

33
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:36,596
It's anywhere from searching
for planets to weather

34
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:40,433
to auroras to asteroids,
literally, you name it.

35
00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:42,869
We have a project for everyone,

36
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:46,439
and so we even have
a brand new project

37
00:01:46,539 --> 00:01:49,976
tied to the James Webb Space
Telescope that launched today.

38
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:52,045
And so you heard it here first.

39
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:53,379
You're going to see it here
first.

40
00:01:53,379 --> 00:01:54,180
We're going to demo

41
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:58,084
that project live today and
do some classification together.

42
00:01:58,251 --> 00:01:59,252
So strap in.

43
00:01:59,252 --> 00:02:01,488
It should be a really fun time.

44
00:02:01,488 --> 00:02:04,491
Now before we get to that
first project demo,

45
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:07,894
we want to know what else
you'd like to explore today.

46
00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:08,761
So you can

47
00:02:08,761 --> 00:02:12,232
kind of think of it as a choose
your own adventure game.

48
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:16,436
So do you want to learn
how to search for new planets

49
00:02:16,436 --> 00:02:17,871
in our solar system?

50
00:02:17,871 --> 00:02:20,874
That's going to be with Backyard
Worlds Planet Nine.

51
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:24,010
Do you want to discover
near-Earth asteroids,

52
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,213
which are asteroids
that enter Earth's neighborhood

53
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:30,316
with the minor
Minor Planet project?

54
00:02:30,416 --> 00:02:33,419
Or do you want to go
cloud hunting on Mars with,

55
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:36,623
you might have guessed
it, cloud spotting on Mars.

56
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:40,360
So go ahead and vote in the poll
right now in the chat.

57
00:02:40,927 --> 00:02:44,497
Now, while you all drop
those votes in Marc,

58
00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:45,899
do you have any guesses on

59
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,734
who you think's
going to win the poll today?

60
00:02:48,801 --> 00:02:49,636
Oh my gosh.

61
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:52,172
Well, you
know, everyone wants to discover

62
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:54,941
an asteroid
and daily minor planet project

63
00:02:54,941 --> 00:02:58,011
for volunteers now
have asteroids named after them

64
00:02:58,378 --> 00:03:01,047
because they just. Wow.

65
00:03:01,047 --> 00:03:02,182
You project,

66
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:05,885
on the other hand, you know,
Mars is really hot right now.

67
00:03:05,952 --> 00:03:07,387
Can I say cold?

68
00:03:07,387 --> 00:03:12,058
And you can find, water
ice and carbon

69
00:03:12,058 --> 00:03:15,128
dioxide ice in its atmosphere
and cloud spotting.

70
00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:16,529
Geez.

71
00:03:16,529 --> 00:03:19,899
I don't know, maybe
it would be cool to find nine.

72
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:23,169
I mean, how many planets do
we have in our solar system?

73
00:03:23,169 --> 00:03:25,438
Is it
eight? Nine? Nine? Ten, 11?

74
00:03:25,438 --> 00:03:27,640
So back in our worlds,
planet nine.

75
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,610
You might get the jackpot and,

76
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:33,646
and be the next Clyde Tombaugh
at discovering a planet.

77
00:03:33,646 --> 00:03:36,649
So that's rough choice.

78
00:03:36,849 --> 00:03:40,320
Well, Marc, I think everybody's
going for the jackpot.

79
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,055
They're going for the win today.

80
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:44,257
And it looks like on the Twitch
stream,

81
00:03:44,257 --> 00:03:47,260
we've got searching for planets
currently winning,

82
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:50,463
but we got some time
for the poll to still stay open.

83
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:51,197
So folks,

84
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:55,602
as you can already tell,
today is an interactive stream.

85
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:56,936
We want to hear from you.

86
00:03:56,936 --> 00:03:58,304
We're going to be talking back

87
00:03:58,304 --> 00:04:00,373
and forth
throughout the next hour.

88
00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:03,376
So if you've got some questions
for doctor Marc right here,

89
00:04:03,443 --> 00:04:05,678
drop them in the chat at any
time.

90
00:04:05,678 --> 00:04:08,615
I'll be monitoring the chat
to keep an eye on the stream,

91
00:04:08,615 --> 00:04:10,883
and we'll answer them
live on air.

92
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:12,986
Now I've also got some
really awesome

93
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,187
mod friends in the chat

94
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:16,389
who are helping me out
behind the scenes,

95
00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:19,392
so be sure to look out for NASA
Red crew.

96
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,160
We are.

97
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,229
If we have not stated it enough.

98
00:04:23,229 --> 00:04:25,531
Super excited to be here again.

99
00:04:25,531 --> 00:04:28,701
This is a totally fresh way,
of doing things.

100
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:30,069
We're really excited

101
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:32,205
to have this interactive stream
and be talking

102
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:34,440
about these incredible
opportunities.

103
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,043
Now, while y'all are
still voting,

104
00:04:37,043 --> 00:04:40,046
we're going to walk
through the newest project

105
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:43,049
that launched today
called Galaxy Z,

106
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:47,020
where you can classify
tens of thousands of galaxies

107
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:50,123
from the James
Webb Space Telescope mission.

108
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:52,392
Arguably a fan favorite.

109
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:54,560
Now, Marc,
can you share your screen

110
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,696
and show us
how folks can participate

111
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:59,732
and at the same time,
can my NASA Red crew friends

112
00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:03,202
go ahead and drop the, project
link in chat for folks?

113
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:06,172
So that way you can follow along
in real time if you want.

114
00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:08,975
All right.

115
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:10,610
Sweet. We've got the project up.

116
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:12,979
Marc,
what's the first step here?

117
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:13,980
How do we get involved?

118
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:16,983
Well, actually, first,
what are we working with?

119
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:18,451
Yeah. What are we working with?

120
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:20,219
So this project.

121
00:05:20,219 --> 00:05:22,155
Yeah, it's it's
hot off the presses.

122
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:25,725
It launched this morning,
and there's already

123
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:28,761
hundreds of people online, 
chatting about it

124
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:30,396
and working on it together.

125
00:05:30,396 --> 00:05:32,131
That's so fun to watch.

126
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:36,903
So, Galaxy
Zoo Project has been around

127
00:05:36,903 --> 00:05:40,206
looking at different data
sets since around 2007.

128
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,178
And this is in
such a scientific powerhouse.

129
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:49,515
I mean, Galaxy Zoo project
has produced more than 450

130
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:53,052
scientific publications
through those years,

131
00:05:53,419 --> 00:05:56,556
and now it's supercharged
with data from the James

132
00:05:56,556 --> 00:05:58,091
Webb Space Telescope.

133
00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:00,460
And this data, as you
know, brings

134
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:04,030
the power of this telescope,
which can look farther away

135
00:06:04,397 --> 00:06:08,835
and hence farther back in time
than previous telescopes.

136
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:12,138
So, when we do this project,
we're going to be looking

137
00:06:12,138 --> 00:06:16,109
at images from James Webb Space
Telescope of Galaxies.

138
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:19,112
Sometimes other stuff gets in
there, too, but mostly galaxies.

139
00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:22,448
And we're going to be

140
00:06:22,782 --> 00:06:24,517
classifying them
to try to make sense

141
00:06:24,517 --> 00:06:25,151
of what they are

142
00:06:25,151 --> 00:06:26,486
and, and how they formed

143
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:28,955
and what they mean
about today's galaxies.

144
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:32,291
And we may be looking at

145
00:06:33,292 --> 00:06:36,295
images that nobody
else has ever seen before.

146
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:39,031
That's super fun. That's crazy.

147
00:06:39,031 --> 00:06:40,733
Marc, how is that even possible?

148
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:43,102
You know, you would think that

149
00:06:43,102 --> 00:06:45,037
a science team has to see it.

150
00:06:45,037 --> 00:06:47,840
Or is there just so much data
that's coming down?

151
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,843
How could we be the first people
seeing these images from Webb?

152
00:06:51,778 --> 00:06:56,082
Today's space telescopes produce
data at such a terrific rate,

153
00:06:56,516 --> 00:07:00,186
that we need help
from from everyone.

154
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:03,790
We can we can ask,
to make sense of it.

155
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:08,327
So, although the science team,
you know, so lots of people

156
00:07:08,861 --> 00:07:10,797
work to process the data,

157
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:13,599
they haven't really had a time
to study it, to break it into

158
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:15,735
that kind of postage
stamps and zoom

159
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:18,538
in on each galaxy
that's been custom processed.

160
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:22,008
And, that's where
we really need people's help.

161
00:07:22,074 --> 00:07:23,242
Really,

162
00:07:23,242 --> 00:07:27,280
really, staring at these things
and thinking about them.

163
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:31,284
Well,
quickly, the project page.

164
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,519
Where should
somebody get started?

165
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:36,489
Well,
I guess other than get started.

166
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:37,256
So. Yeah.

167
00:07:37,256 --> 00:07:39,759
So, super easy
way to find this project.

168
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,562
Galaxy Zorg.

169
00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:45,498
And then you show up
on this page and,

170
00:07:45,498 --> 00:07:47,533
you know,
it's like the Learn More button

171
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:50,236
to read
about the scientific background.

172
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:53,739
So lots of info here
about the survey telescope, but

173
00:07:54,941 --> 00:07:58,144
let's just go click
Get Started and dive right in.

174
00:07:58,945 --> 00:08:01,881
So if you didn't have me here,
yapping at you,

175
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:04,150
there'd be a tutorial
which you could follow,

176
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:06,018
which gives you
some instructions on,

177
00:08:06,018 --> 00:08:07,153
on what you're going to look for

178
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:08,888
and just kind of click
through that.

179
00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:13,292
And the point is
that we're going to zoom in.

180
00:08:13,292 --> 00:08:16,162
We're going to focus on whatever
is in the center of the image.

181
00:08:17,263 --> 00:08:20,066
And we're going
to try to make sense of it.

182
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:22,001
Oh, this is an interesting one.

183
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:22,802
Are two different.

184
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:24,537
So what are we looking at.

185
00:08:24,537 --> 00:08:26,439
Is it the same object.

186
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:27,640
So I may actually take that

187
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,410
tutorial again see if it's
got some more info for us

188
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:34,247
okay.

189
00:08:34,247 --> 00:08:37,250
Yeah I think these are just two
different scalings

190
00:08:38,451 --> 00:08:41,220
oh two different scalings
of the same object.

191
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:42,889
So a scaling is like a process.

192
00:08:42,889 --> 00:08:44,590
It's the same data,
but it's processed

193
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:47,560
in a different way to highlight
different features of that.

194
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:50,596
Right.

195
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:52,498
And so we know

196
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:55,535
we're looking at a galaxy,
we're looking at a galaxy.

197
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:58,104
And we're just going to read
this question on the right,

198
00:08:58,104 --> 00:08:59,872
and it's got
some little cartoons for us.

199
00:08:59,872 --> 00:09:02,441
And just try to answer
the question best we can.

200
00:09:02,441 --> 00:09:05,912
Is the central galaxy
simply smooth and rounded with

201
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:07,346
no sign of a disk?

202
00:09:08,447 --> 00:09:08,714
Use a

203
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:11,717
little
picture of the smooth option,

204
00:09:11,784 --> 00:09:13,386
and here is some example.

205
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,122
It's kind of tough,

206
00:09:16,122 --> 00:09:18,257
and sometimes you'll get a star
that gets in there,

207
00:09:18,257 --> 00:09:21,193
and then the star
will have often six spikes

208
00:09:21,193 --> 00:09:24,230
because of the hexagonal
symmetry of the James

209
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,132
Webb Space Telescope. Yeah.

210
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:26,966
So what do you think?

211
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:29,368
Do you see a sign of a disk?

212
00:09:29,368 --> 00:09:30,670
I don't see the spikes to here.

213
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:31,871
Do you see spikes?

214
00:09:31,871 --> 00:09:34,407
I'm I'm going to go smooth.

215
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:38,611
I'm also going to toss the
question to our Twitch streamers

216
00:09:38,611 --> 00:09:39,211
right now.

217
00:09:39,211 --> 00:09:42,281
If if you're watching
and you want to participate,

218
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:44,116
do you think it's smooth?

219
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:47,587
Do you think it features a disk
or does it feature

220
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:52,325
one of these other, 
other signals right here listed?

221
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:54,560
And while we give folks to

222
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,196
a time to chime in, Marc,
I've got a question for you.

223
00:09:57,196 --> 00:10:00,132
We have a ton of people
in the chat who want to know

224
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:04,036
if doctor Marc has recommendatio

225
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:06,739
Oh, that's a cool one.

226
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:10,676
Well, and of course, you know,

227
00:10:11,711 --> 00:10:14,080
there's so many good ones
on the market these days.

228
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:20,019
You can get telescopes
that, will connect to an app

229
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:24,390
and automatically points
to, an object of your choice.

230
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:26,726
And those are great options
for people. Wow.

231
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:29,028
I mean, to a backyard
telescopes.

232
00:10:29,028 --> 00:10:32,031
We have this great partnership
with, with a team

233
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:35,034
called unite,
that does a citizen science

234
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:38,137
project around,
one of those telescopes

235
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:41,140
called an EV scope.

236
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:44,910
There's also, a less expensive

237
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:46,712
version of that,
sort of from a different company

238
00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:51,384
that's called C star,
like MCE, S.t.a.r.,

239
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:56,355
and, new ones are coming out
all the time,

240
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:58,257
so I may even be out of date.

241
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:01,961
Cool.

242
00:11:01,961 --> 00:11:02,595
Thanks, Marc.

243
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:06,432
Now the votes have come in,
most people are saying smooth,

244
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:09,502
so let's smash
that smooth button.

245
00:11:09,702 --> 00:11:10,369
Okay.

246
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:13,372
Smooth it is. Bam!

247
00:11:13,539 --> 00:11:16,542
All right, next up, it's going
to ask us some more questions.

248
00:11:16,909 --> 00:11:17,410
All right.

249
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:20,212
Is the galaxy merging
or disturbed or not?

250
00:11:20,212 --> 00:11:21,747
It could be not disturbed.

251
00:11:21,747 --> 00:11:22,281
Right.

252
00:11:22,281 --> 00:11:24,450
So galaxies,

253
00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:27,920
our galaxy, they're crashing
together all the time.

254
00:11:28,254 --> 00:11:31,223
And that's where we think
big galaxies like ours come from

255
00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:32,992
is that they used to be
small galaxies

256
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:34,393
and they crash together.

257
00:11:34,393 --> 00:11:37,663
So as we look at other galaxies

258
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:39,765
far back in time,
which we're doing right now

259
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:42,201
with these James Webb
images, right.

260
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,204
We're looking at the galaxies
that probably smashed

261
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:48,207
together to form the big things
that we live in now.

262
00:11:48,207 --> 00:11:49,608
And,

263
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:54,346
so Galaxy merger is galaxy
collisions are a huge part

264
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:55,481
of the story

265
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,818
of the formation of our galaxy
and the history of the universe.

266
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:00,986
So very important question.

267
00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:05,024
So we look at this object,
do we see any signs of, recent

268
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:11,130
crash or, one of these

269
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:14,200
cataclysms happen sometimes
it'll be the spray of stars.

270
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,534
It'll kind of,

271
00:12:15,534 --> 00:12:18,037
it's getting lost
into intergalactic

272
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:23,309
space that you'll see, and, 
or maybe sometimes

273
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:26,312
just a minor, minor disturbance
to the shape of it.

274
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:29,615
Do you see any signs
of these collisions going on?

275
00:12:31,450 --> 00:12:33,252
Marc,
can you scroll up a little bit?

276
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:36,989
I've got, folks telling me that
we can't see the fourth option

277
00:12:38,224 --> 00:12:40,059
now.

278
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:40,459
Okay.

279
00:12:40,459 --> 00:12:42,928
The fourth option
is none to everybody

280
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:44,597
on this, on the stream.

281
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,999
But we also have reality, ripple

282
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:50,002
and a few others saying
undisturbed.

283
00:12:50,636 --> 00:12:53,773
Folks, now that we can see
the fourth option, do we

284
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:55,508
want to go with undisturbed?

285
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:02,848
That makes sense to me.

286
00:13:02,848 --> 00:13:05,351
I'm there making lots of noise.

287
00:13:05,351 --> 00:13:07,052
See all those kind of, pixels?

288
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:09,421
Looks like Minecraft
or something in the background,

289
00:13:09,421 --> 00:13:10,022
right?

290
00:13:10,022 --> 00:13:13,025
That's just, noise from,

291
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:17,129
from, the telescope.

292
00:13:17,396 --> 00:13:19,932
Oh, Marc,
somebody wants to know.

293
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:23,269
We have Joe Mute
who wants to know

294
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:25,471
what are the two dots
on the bottom middle?

295
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:26,839
That's a good point.

296
00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:29,842
Are those are we able to switch
through photos?

297
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:33,445
Why? Thank you. Yeah.

298
00:13:33,445 --> 00:13:34,847
Oh, wow.

299
00:13:34,847 --> 00:13:36,615
Thanks, Joe. Minor.

300
00:13:36,615 --> 00:13:37,650
Yeah.

301
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:38,284
Great.

302
00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:39,051
So, one,

303
00:13:39,051 --> 00:13:41,220
special feature of James
Webb space Telescope

304
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:42,822
is that it has the ability

305
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:45,324
to detect different
wavelengths of light.

306
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:45,891
Right.

307
00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:48,427
And of course, with our eyes,
we combine

308
00:13:48,427 --> 00:13:51,096
different wavelengths together
and we perceive color.

309
00:13:51,096 --> 00:13:52,698
But these, different

310
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:54,967
wavelengths
tend to be in the near infrared.

311
00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:57,670
So there are lots
of different ways you can,

312
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,305
you know,
try to combine these together,

313
00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:00,706
interpret
them in terms of color,

314
00:14:00,706 --> 00:14:02,508
but that nothing is going
to correspond

315
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:04,910
exactly the way humans
perceive color.

316
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:06,879
So here
they're offering us a chance to

317
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,882
to view different wavelengths
one at a time

318
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:11,650
and see if they offer us
any other clues.

319
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:13,786
Hey, that was a great catch
there.

320
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:15,487
Does this
give us any other clues about

321
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:17,056
whether
there's a merger here or not?

322
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:22,728
I think
I'm kind of leaning towards I

323
00:14:22,728 --> 00:14:26,065
yeah, I think I'm seeing a lot
of people say none in the chat.

324
00:14:26,065 --> 00:14:28,067
Let's, let's go with none.

325
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:30,769
None. Okay.

326
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:32,371
Oh boy. Okay.

327
00:14:32,371 --> 00:14:35,374
Lots of options here. Okay.

328
00:14:35,474 --> 00:14:36,909
Is there a ring?

329
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,477
Is there a lens or an arc?

330
00:14:38,477 --> 00:14:41,480
Often you'll see a, a,

331
00:14:43,582 --> 00:14:47,686
A heavy object in space that's
in front of another galaxy.

332
00:14:47,686 --> 00:14:48,053
So say

333
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:51,790
you had a clump of dark matter
or a black hole or something

334
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:54,793
that's in front of a background
galaxy.

335
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:58,030
And, because,

336
00:14:58,664 --> 00:15:02,935
gravity changes the
the the path that light takes.

337
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:06,705
It'll act as a lens
and it'll change the apparent

338
00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:07,706
shape of the object.

339
00:15:07,706 --> 00:15:08,607
It'll tend to make it

340
00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:10,809
into these
kind of Einstein rings,

341
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:13,545
or you'll see multiple copies
of it, something like that.

342
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:15,047
That's what a lens is.

343
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:15,714
Those are awesome.

344
00:15:15,714 --> 00:15:17,283
If you spot one of those,

345
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:19,618
we have irregular
objects, dust lanes.

346
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:20,819
So the Milky Way has,

347
00:15:20,819 --> 00:15:24,757
all of its dust in the
mid plane that that stars,

348
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,828
sometimes
you have overlapping objects

349
00:15:29,828 --> 00:15:31,830
of your foreground
galaxy background.

350
00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:34,900
Let me ask you a quick, one.

351
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:36,268
We've got Sandy's on Twitch.

352
00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:38,704
He wants to know if we can
switch to the other dot again

353
00:15:38,704 --> 00:15:41,073
to get that, 
second type of view.

354
00:15:41,073 --> 00:15:43,976
And then we also have
a really good question from,

355
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:47,513
B Gibbs, who wants to know
what galaxy is this?

356
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:49,381
Are we trying to figure
that out?

357
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:50,950
Do we know which one it is?

358
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:53,919
Or is this just one of those,
like,

359
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:57,156
great galaxies
that Webb is able to see?

360
00:15:57,589 --> 00:15:59,291
I'm going to click okay. Okay.

361
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:00,326
So I didn't have it here.

362
00:16:00,326 --> 00:16:04,430
So not every galaxy
is in a catalog just yet.

363
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:08,200
And many of these galaxies
that are in that

364
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,435
we're looking at in galaxies,

365
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:13,839
you are not yet,
you know, named or cataloged.

366
00:16:15,841 --> 00:16:17,543
To my question.

367
00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:17,977
So, you know,

368
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:20,980
there are more galaxies
in the sky than there are stars.

369
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,317
So it's a big project to try
to keep track of them all.

370
00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:28,387
Okay.

371
00:16:28,387 --> 00:16:29,088
What are you doing?

372
00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:32,091
I'm seeing.

373
00:16:32,257 --> 00:16:35,461
People are saying they're seeing
a bit of a disturbance.

374
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:40,499
Is that an option?

375
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:46,005
For, like,
this kind of thing here?

376
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:48,607
Maybe.

377
00:16:48,607 --> 00:16:48,874
Yeah.

378
00:16:48,874 --> 00:16:51,910
This structure here is.

379
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:53,545
Yeah. That's questionable.

380
00:16:53,545 --> 00:16:55,714
Right. Yeah.

381
00:16:55,714 --> 00:16:58,517
Specially since
it appears in multiple different

382
00:16:58,517 --> 00:17:01,520
visualizations.

383
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:02,454
Yeah.

384
00:17:02,454 --> 00:17:05,457
Multiple different things here.

385
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:09,161
Does that correspond to that?

386
00:17:09,161 --> 00:17:12,164
Would we call that a regular
or maybe something else?

387
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:16,368
I kind of feeling
something else,

388
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:19,371
but what are you guys thinking?

389
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:22,841
I'm checking the chat.

390
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:24,410
It's hard to tell, you know?

391
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:26,211
It is hard to tell.

392
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:29,314
And. Hey, welcome to science.

393
00:17:29,314 --> 00:17:29,882
Right?

394
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:33,185
You know, if we we've got
we've got a helper in the chat

395
00:17:33,185 --> 00:17:34,453
to Marc.

396
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:35,954
Yeah, he's
got a helper in the chat. Astro.

397
00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:38,957
Haley reminded us
to check the field guide.

398
00:17:40,592 --> 00:17:43,495
We haven't talked
about the field guide yet.

399
00:17:43,495 --> 00:17:46,298
On the right of every project
that you'll find

400
00:17:46,298 --> 00:17:48,100
on zooniverse.org.

401
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,769
This is handy
tab label field guide,

402
00:17:50,769 --> 00:17:53,772
which has examples of things.

403
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:05,084
Yeah.

404
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,722
I think this one is still
a little difficult.

405
00:18:10,722 --> 00:18:11,590
It's still there.

406
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:14,460
But let's go with something else
right now.

407
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,863
Yeah, I think I yeah, let's
go with something else.

408
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:21,533
Guesstimate there.

409
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:24,636
Okay.

410
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:25,370
Okay.

411
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:27,239
Now we've got a new one.

412
00:18:27,239 --> 00:18:28,173
Hey, Marc.

413
00:18:28,173 --> 00:18:32,644
That is really this pixelated
or do we never know

414
00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:33,412
what we're going to get?

415
00:18:33,412 --> 00:18:35,481
Like could we get some
that are a little clearer?

416
00:18:38,183 --> 00:18:38,517
It's.

417
00:18:38,517 --> 00:18:40,652
Yeah, it's
a yeah, it's a game of roulette.

418
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,655
You never know what the slot.

419
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:47,893
So, you know, sometimes they're
spectacular and clean and

420
00:18:48,327 --> 00:18:51,330
and sometimes you're digging
deep into the noise,

421
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:54,633
to to find those faint objects.

422
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:55,033
You know,

423
00:18:55,033 --> 00:18:57,269
one exciting thing about looking
at a noisy are generally,

424
00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:59,371
this probably means
the galaxy is faint,

425
00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:01,940
which often means
that it's very far away.

426
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:05,043
So here is this is what
it's like to look back in time.

427
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:08,347
Let's go back in
time to see. Wow.

428
00:19:08,347 --> 00:19:09,715
That's crazy.

429
00:19:09,715 --> 00:19:12,184
Not really faint like this.

430
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:14,086
Something I want to point out.

431
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:18,490
Is that there's a button
on here called Done and Talk.

432
00:19:18,524 --> 00:19:21,527
So we've just hit the
we hit the done button before,

433
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:24,696
but if you hit done and talk

434
00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:27,699
on Zooniverse,
it takes you to a new world.

435
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,936
So in talk in Zooniverse,
there's no way to get there.

436
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:32,738
So I'll take you
there. It's a bulletin board.

437
00:19:33,805 --> 00:19:36,808
And the bulletin
board you can interact with.

438
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:39,745
Everyone else
is looking at these galaxies.

439
00:19:39,745 --> 00:19:44,016
So for example, here's Karen
Masters, the, the lead science.

440
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:46,718
So it's like a chat room.
It's a chat room. Right.

441
00:19:46,718 --> 00:19:49,254
So we can ask
we could ask Karen.

442
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:53,058
We could ask other
other colleagues.

443
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:54,560
We could ask,

444
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,196
other folks who work
on the project what they think.

445
00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:00,632
And so maybe, do we have time
to keep digging on this one?

446
00:20:02,467 --> 00:20:04,169
I think we need to keep it
rolling

447
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,706
because our poll votes are
in, and I am very excited

448
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:08,440
to share it.

449
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,409
So right now, though,
it looks like

450
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,110
we've got a bunch of folks
saying disk.

451
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:14,379
So let's go with disk.

452
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:17,382
Disk.

453
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:19,918
I'm here for disk.

454
00:20:19,918 --> 00:20:20,919
I live in a disk.

455
00:20:23,822 --> 00:20:26,825
Okay.

456
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:29,127
Is it edge on

457
00:20:29,127 --> 00:20:32,130
or is it something else?

458
00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:37,502
You look at some of the other
views here.

459
00:20:39,638 --> 00:20:42,641
That's tough.

460
00:20:44,009 --> 00:20:44,409
Really

461
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:47,412
digging deep into the noise
on this one.

462
00:20:47,779 --> 00:20:50,182
Yeah, we are.

463
00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:50,616
Yeah.

464
00:20:50,616 --> 00:20:52,651
So we say

465
00:20:52,651 --> 00:20:55,654
something else or.

466
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:00,859
The people are, say, an edge on.

467
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:02,261
That's another cool
way to do the data.

468
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:05,264
See, this is a little, 
kind of half data.

469
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:06,732
Yeah.

470
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:09,735
You can flip the color scale.

471
00:21:10,035 --> 00:21:13,038
It's kind of nice flip
like that.

472
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:14,806
Okay, sweet.

473
00:21:14,806 --> 00:21:17,809
Let's go with edge on edge on
disk.

474
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:18,877
Marc.

475
00:21:18,877 --> 00:21:21,513
Mark Robert tables wants to know
what eventually

476
00:21:21,513 --> 00:21:24,850
what eventually will be done
with these classifications.

477
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:28,120
Like we're answering
all these questions, but then

478
00:21:28,687 --> 00:21:31,323
what does that correlate into.

479
00:21:31,323 --> 00:21:32,891
Sure. Great question Robert.

480
00:21:32,891 --> 00:21:36,595
So science team will look at the
the classifications.

481
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:37,429
First thing you want to know

482
00:21:37,429 --> 00:21:41,566
is that, multiple people will
look at the same object.

483
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,770
So don't ever worry
about making a mistake,

484
00:21:44,803 --> 00:21:46,605
on Galaxy Zoo,
because there are

485
00:21:46,605 --> 00:21:49,608
lots of different ways that
your input will get checked.

486
00:21:49,708 --> 00:21:52,711
So multiple different
citizen scientists

487
00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:54,446
will view the same object.

488
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:57,482
And those votes
will be aggregated

489
00:21:57,482 --> 00:21:58,784
into a classification.

490
00:21:58,784 --> 00:22:01,687
And then the science team
will look at the results and,

491
00:22:01,687 --> 00:22:03,522
argue with each other

492
00:22:03,522 --> 00:22:05,991
about what they mean, and then
they'll write up a paper

493
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:09,027
and they'll go back and forth
with an independent, anonymous

494
00:22:09,027 --> 00:22:12,297
referee,
before that paper is published.

495
00:22:12,297 --> 00:22:17,369
So, so, the next step
is, is a lot of people examining

496
00:22:17,569 --> 00:22:20,605
the data and,
you know, with you actually,

497
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:23,608
so, then

498
00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:26,144
one of

499
00:22:26,144 --> 00:22:29,381
the, our people on the Galaxy
Zoo team

500
00:22:29,381 --> 00:22:31,216
who have different interests,
they probably have different

501
00:22:31,216 --> 00:22:32,951
pet galaxies, different trends

502
00:22:32,951 --> 00:22:35,087
that they're interested
in following up on.

503
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:35,721
Some folks in

504
00:22:35,721 --> 00:22:37,956
the team are interested
in galaxies as far as

505
00:22:37,956 --> 00:22:40,959
some people want to know
about the the merger history.

506
00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:45,130
And, and, 
they even have even seen a paper

507
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:49,601
in the literature already, 
related to this project

508
00:22:49,735 --> 00:22:54,106
with initial results, about
the smoothness of galaxies.

509
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:58,710
It the teams already, reporting
that they are finding that

510
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:02,948
the galaxies in this population
are especially smooth

511
00:23:03,181 --> 00:23:04,449
and it may have something to do

512
00:23:04,449 --> 00:23:07,919
with the increased abundance
of gas as you look back in time.

513
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:09,087
So galaxies, as they crash

514
00:23:09,087 --> 00:23:10,689
with each other,
they often leave their gas

515
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:13,158
behind
in the intergalactic medium.

516
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:16,728
And so Marc, right now

517
00:23:17,829 --> 00:23:20,465
we've got a bunch of questions
from folks

518
00:23:20,465 --> 00:23:23,368
wondering what the sidebar
scientist wants to know.

519
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:26,538
What does the side bar
under the left picture do?

520
00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:30,409
Great question so far.

521
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:31,176
Oh, okay.

522
00:23:31,176 --> 00:23:34,179
So this will play.

523
00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:37,716
And can you scroll up
a little bit. Our,

524
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:39,351
our heads are blocking it yet.

525
00:23:39,351 --> 00:23:42,421
So yeah. That's good.

526
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:43,989
Or maybe a little. Yeah.

527
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:50,128
So this is for this exact
project and this is Galaxy.

528
00:23:50,996 --> 00:23:53,999
Some Zooniverse projects
have multiple.

529
00:23:54,399 --> 00:23:55,434
In fact,

530
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:58,403
if we look at one of either
Backyard Worlds or Daily

531
00:23:58,403 --> 00:23:59,504
Minor Planet,

532
00:23:59,504 --> 00:24:02,774
it's possible these projects
show little movies

533
00:24:03,074 --> 00:24:06,077
and so you can control the speed
of the movie with that bar.

534
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:10,682
Okay.

535
00:24:10,682 --> 00:24:12,818
Awesome. Thanks, Marc.

536
00:24:12,818 --> 00:24:15,687
So we probably need to wrap
that wrap

537
00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:19,324
this task up soon so we can get
to the second tutorial.

538
00:24:19,691 --> 00:24:20,559
I'm seeing

539
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:23,562
a bunch of folks in chat
say that this looks rounded,

540
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:25,163
so let's go with that. You

541
00:24:26,598 --> 00:24:27,032
okay?

542
00:24:27,032 --> 00:24:27,466
Interesting.

543
00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:30,469
So you're seeing a bulge
in the center of it.

544
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:33,371
It does look a little darker
in the center.

545
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:34,573
Folds there.

546
00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:37,576
Okay.

547
00:24:38,877 --> 00:24:39,611
I'm not seeing it,

548
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:42,681
but let's go with this round.

549
00:24:42,714 --> 00:24:45,417
It actually feels
a little boxy to me

550
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:47,686
with a kind of square
on the edges,

551
00:24:47,686 --> 00:24:49,921
but that may be, in fact,
the exposition.

552
00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:51,189
Wow. Aren't
you glad you don't have

553
00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:53,792
to program a computer
to try to make these calls?

554
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:55,494
Yeah, yeah.

555
00:24:55,494 --> 00:24:55,961
Okay.

556
00:24:55,961 --> 00:25:00,131
So, are there any obvious
bright clumps?

557
00:25:00,131 --> 00:25:00,532
Now, remember,

558
00:25:00,532 --> 00:25:01,299
we're focusing

559
00:25:01,299 --> 00:25:04,369
on the object in the center,
so we're going to ignore that

560
00:25:04,369 --> 00:25:06,838
clumpy thing,
whatever that is down there.

561
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:09,841
You see any clumps in here?

562
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:15,981
What's this little thing
over here

563
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:18,517
that's in multiple images.

564
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:21,520
And I see it pop up at
different, multiple wavelengths.

565
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:24,990
Makes me think
there might be something to it.

566
00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:26,992
Do you
guys think slightly clumpy?

567
00:25:31,329 --> 00:25:34,332
I think we're going to go with

568
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:38,069
no bright clumps. No.

569
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:42,741
So you showed us
the talk option once we.

570
00:25:42,741 --> 00:25:45,744
How do we wrap up a project
like this.

571
00:25:46,811 --> 00:25:47,512
Yeah.

572
00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:51,750
So the next question
we we're familiar with this one.

573
00:25:52,751 --> 00:25:56,788
So which one?

574
00:25:56,821 --> 00:25:58,423
You know, whenever we got done

575
00:25:58,423 --> 00:25:59,591
classifying this one, we'd

576
00:25:59,591 --> 00:26:03,261
have that option to go to talk
and and join the conversation.

577
00:26:04,029 --> 00:26:07,032
Or just start
looking at other objects and

578
00:26:07,899 --> 00:26:10,902
these,

579
00:26:13,004 --> 00:26:15,740
You can really dive deep
into some of these projects.

580
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:18,743
So when you go into talk,
for example,

581
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:21,980
and you have conversations with
people who are working on it,

582
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:25,817
often volunteers will form
these groups, discussion groups

583
00:26:26,117 --> 00:26:28,954
around their favorite objects
or trends that they're seeing.

584
00:26:28,954 --> 00:26:32,524
So for example,
that soon after the

585
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:34,960
original version of Galaxy
Z was launched,

586
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,729
a group of participants
got together

587
00:26:37,729 --> 00:26:40,732
and they were seeing these
objects, these kind of round,

588
00:26:41,199 --> 00:26:43,435
green colored galaxies,

589
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,671
and they started calling them
green pea galaxies.

590
00:26:47,038 --> 00:26:48,707
And they got together
and they wrote a paper

591
00:26:48,707 --> 00:26:51,309
themselves
about the green pea galaxies,

592
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:52,310
which has gone down

593
00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:56,514
in the history
of, wow, galaxy research. So,

594
00:26:57,916 --> 00:27:02,487
did every one of these projects
rabbit hole.

595
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:05,523
It's a rabbit hole.

596
00:27:05,523 --> 00:27:07,993
And it's so awesome
how you just mentioned how just

597
00:27:07,993 --> 00:27:11,830
everyday people can join
together, classify objects,

598
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:13,898
and then publish
their own papers.

599
00:27:13,898 --> 00:27:16,701
So, you know,
you just showed us Galaxy Zoo.

600
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:18,770
But for everyone watching,
we have

601
00:27:18,770 --> 00:27:22,574
over 30 different projects
like I mentioned earlier,

602
00:27:22,774 --> 00:27:23,742
where if you

603
00:27:23,742 --> 00:27:27,545
are interested in auroras,
if you're interested in clouds

604
00:27:27,545 --> 00:27:30,515
on this planet
and others asteroids,

605
00:27:30,515 --> 00:27:32,617
you name it, we have it.

606
00:27:32,617 --> 00:27:35,687
So Marc, can we,
would you mind actually

607
00:27:35,687 --> 00:27:36,655
sharing your screen

608
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,457
to show all the projects
that we have to offer?

609
00:27:39,457 --> 00:27:40,258
And maybe let's talk

610
00:27:40,258 --> 00:27:43,261
a little bit about those
before I reveal the pole.

611
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:43,862
Awesome.

612
00:27:43,862 --> 00:27:46,698
It's like the price is
right here

613
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:48,099
it is.

614
00:27:48,099 --> 00:27:50,001
You'll
see what's behind that door.

615
00:27:51,102 --> 00:27:52,003
What's so fun?

616
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:55,306
Everybody watching is
that Marc has no clue

617
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:57,876
what project has won.
I'm able to see the chat.

618
00:27:57,876 --> 00:28:00,879
This is going to be
as much of a surprise for him

619
00:28:00,912 --> 00:28:04,449
as it is for, Well, actually,
it's he's going to be the only

620
00:28:04,449 --> 00:28:05,050
one surprised.

621
00:28:05,050 --> 00:28:07,619
So this will be fun.

622
00:28:07,619 --> 00:28:09,754
Okay.

623
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:10,588
It's good. Will be.

624
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:11,790
It will be nice.

625
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:13,992
One surprise the astronomer.

626
00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:15,326
Okay. All right. Fine.

627
00:28:15,326 --> 00:28:17,729
So here is the alien
minor planet.

628
00:28:17,729 --> 00:28:20,432
This is where we look
for asteroids,

629
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:23,435
especially near-Earth asteroids.

630
00:28:24,669 --> 00:28:25,170
Keep going.

631
00:28:25,170 --> 00:28:28,239
Marc, do you have the main
citizen project pay then?

632
00:28:28,239 --> 00:28:31,876
I like our
science.now.gov/citizen science

633
00:28:32,243 --> 00:28:36,581
where we can just show them
the whole menu of a project.

634
00:28:37,482 --> 00:28:40,452
They'll have many different
projects.

635
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:43,855
Awesome.

636
00:28:43,855 --> 00:28:46,324
So while you're scrolling
through this,

637
00:28:46,324 --> 00:28:49,360
what kind of equipment do
people need to participate

638
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,862
in these projects? You know,

639
00:28:50,862 --> 00:28:53,398
folks were asking about,
do they need telescope ops?

640
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:56,401
Do you need anything special
to be able to,

641
00:28:56,634 --> 00:29:00,138
you know, make a mark like
this on this, on the science?

642
00:29:01,339 --> 00:29:02,407
Great question.

643
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:05,410
So the projects that are here
at the top of the page

644
00:29:06,044 --> 00:29:08,947
are for anyone
with a smartphone or laptop.

645
00:29:08,947 --> 00:29:12,684
So you can do Galaxy
Zoo on your screen.

646
00:29:12,951 --> 00:29:16,988
Do not a little screen like this
right on the go.

647
00:29:16,988 --> 00:29:19,090
Right.

648
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,193
And so, yeah,
we also have projects

649
00:29:22,193 --> 00:29:25,196
for people who really want to go
the wild.

650
00:29:25,296 --> 00:29:27,832
We have more
specialized projects.

651
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:29,601
So if you have your own
telescope,

652
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:32,604
you can join a project
like Exoplanet Watch or Unite.

653
00:29:33,371 --> 00:29:37,108
And those are both projects
that that ask amateur

654
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:42,747
astronomers to study, 
extrasolar planets, exoplanets.

655
00:29:42,747 --> 00:29:44,582
The planets are orbiting
other stars.

656
00:29:44,582 --> 00:29:47,585
And you can, do important
research

657
00:29:47,719 --> 00:29:50,555
on those objects
with a backyard telescope.

658
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:53,558
Those teams
do some fantastic stuff.

659
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:55,660
There are also projects

660
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:59,531
have a science background
to do these projects with NASA.

661
00:30:00,565 --> 00:30:01,266
Oh, no,

662
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:04,269
no, no, no, all these projects,

663
00:30:04,269 --> 00:30:07,739
all these projects
teach you what you need to do.

664
00:30:08,339 --> 00:30:10,809
So we just saw in Galaxy Zoo,
for example, there's that

665
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:14,712
nice tutorial, and field guide,
everything you need to know.

666
00:30:14,712 --> 00:30:16,714
You can also ask other people
for help.

667
00:30:16,714 --> 00:30:18,850
There's also, by the way,
I didn't show you.

668
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:20,952
There's yet
another help feature on here.

669
00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:23,922
There's the need some help
with this task button.

670
00:30:25,123 --> 00:30:28,426
So you can go
here, say I need help signing.

671
00:30:28,426 --> 00:30:30,428
If there was
a major disturbance.

672
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:33,431
Got these great examples.

673
00:30:36,201 --> 00:30:39,204
Oh, that is really going to
help.

674
00:30:40,238 --> 00:30:43,241
That would have helped.

675
00:30:43,408 --> 00:30:44,108
Yeah.

676
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:46,344
We know this now, though.

677
00:30:46,344 --> 00:30:47,979
Need some help? Yeah.

678
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:50,982
And if you're stuck.

679
00:30:51,716 --> 00:30:52,650
So. Yeah.

680
00:30:52,650 --> 00:30:56,454
So most of these projects set up
so that you don't, don't need

681
00:30:56,454 --> 00:30:57,755
any background knowledge.

682
00:30:58,756 --> 00:31:00,692
One of the, probably the

683
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:04,028
easiest project is a project
called Mountain Rain or Snow.

684
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:08,533
So mountain rain or snow sends
you a text.

685
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,070
You sign up and it sends you
a text to your cell phone

686
00:31:12,670 --> 00:31:15,640
and, asks you,

687
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,843
is it raining or snowing?

688
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:21,980
And, you say,

689
00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:24,983
you say, yeah, it's raining.

690
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:28,386
Or, yeah, it's it's snowing.

691
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,555
And that's it.

692
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:31,890
But that's incredibly helpful

693
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:34,893
because we have,
you know, the best weather

694
00:31:35,126 --> 00:31:36,728
satellites in the world.

695
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,731
And, they can

696
00:31:40,465 --> 00:31:43,635
they can't always tell exactly
what's going on on the ground.

697
00:31:43,768 --> 00:31:47,906
So they could spot the, the
the clouds, the the,

698
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:50,708
the radar reflectance
of the weather system,

699
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:53,411
but they can't necessarily
translate that

700
00:31:53,411 --> 00:31:56,314
into exactly what is landing
on your windshield right now.

701
00:31:56,314 --> 00:31:58,917
So it's a big help to have
that additional information

702
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,385
if we want to learn
how to better

703
00:32:00,385 --> 00:32:02,921
predict the weather
and understand the climate.

704
00:32:05,189 --> 00:32:06,357
So, Marc, before

705
00:32:06,357 --> 00:32:10,028
we reveal the pole, reveal
what's behind the door.

706
00:32:10,328 --> 00:32:12,196
Okay,
so you kind of hit on this

707
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:16,301
with talking about the projects,
but what science areas

708
00:32:16,467 --> 00:32:20,238
can people do NASA science
in through these projects

709
00:32:20,505 --> 00:32:21,539
like we've talked about

710
00:32:21,539 --> 00:32:25,576
Galaxy Zoo so we can do things
with astrophysics

711
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,011
right in the cosmos,

712
00:32:27,011 --> 00:32:30,181
but what else can we do
through these project offerings?

713
00:32:30,181 --> 00:32:33,851
But science areas?
You'd say sure.

714
00:32:33,851 --> 00:32:36,854
So there are citizen science
projects in every corner

715
00:32:36,854 --> 00:32:37,989
of NASA's science.

716
00:32:37,989 --> 00:32:42,727
So we do astrophysics,
heliophysics, planetary science

717
00:32:43,394 --> 00:32:46,798
with science and, biological
and physical sciences,

718
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:49,334
which is experiments
that are done,

719
00:32:49,334 --> 00:32:51,135
in the environment of space.

720
00:32:51,135 --> 00:32:54,105
And that spans
an enormous range of things.

721
00:32:54,105 --> 00:32:58,076
I mean, we have have projects
on, on

722
00:32:58,776 --> 00:33:01,813
asteroids, as you
saw, we have projects on,

723
00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:06,951
This is a this is
a project on on phytoplankton.

724
00:33:07,018 --> 00:33:07,251
Right.

725
00:33:07,251 --> 00:33:10,254
This is on ice thickness, 
in Alaska.

726
00:33:10,321 --> 00:33:11,990
These are folks who are testing

727
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:13,992
seeds
to see whether they'll grow,

728
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:16,761
whether they'll be good food
for astronauts.

729
00:33:16,761 --> 00:33:19,263
We have, and ham radio

730
00:33:19,263 --> 00:33:22,266
operators
who are studying the ionosphere.

731
00:33:22,333 --> 00:33:23,201
People are studying

732
00:33:23,201 --> 00:33:27,238
the depth of water in lakes,
which is surprisingly, unknown.

733
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:29,907
There's a mountain rain
or snow project I talked about.

734
00:33:29,907 --> 00:33:30,508
We know, Joe,

735
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:32,677
people are building their own
wow telescopes

736
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:34,946
and studying Jupiter
and the sun.

737
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:36,881
A spectacular.

738
00:33:36,881 --> 00:33:38,149
I didn't even know about this

739
00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:39,717
until this project
appeared online.

740
00:33:39,717 --> 00:33:41,185
But there are these things,

741
00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:44,122
that appear above
thunderstorms called sprites,

742
00:33:44,122 --> 00:33:47,125
which are kind of like
the up version of lightning.

743
00:33:47,158 --> 00:33:47,592
Right.

744
00:33:47,592 --> 00:33:49,927
And that's
what that is. So cool.

745
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:53,064
So, you know, you name

746
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:54,999
it, we've we've got a fun
project there.

747
00:33:54,999 --> 00:33:57,969
And there really is something
for everyone.

748
00:33:58,069 --> 00:34:02,473
So folks really encourage you
to check out this page,

749
00:34:02,473 --> 00:34:04,308
our awesome moderators
in the chat.

750
00:34:04,308 --> 00:34:06,477
And so Red crew
will drop a link.

751
00:34:06,477 --> 00:34:09,881
Be sure to go and find
the perfect project fit for you!

752
00:34:10,615 --> 00:34:13,618
Now it is time to reveal
the poll mark.

753
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:16,354
Drumroll please.

754
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:21,192
And with a 65% of the vote
we have, searching

755
00:34:21,192 --> 00:34:24,896
for new planets in our solar
system has won the poll.

756
00:34:25,129 --> 00:34:27,765
So Marc,
can you please share your screen

757
00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:31,402
and let's hop into the Backyard
Worlds project,

758
00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:34,806
which I'm super excited
that folks chose

759
00:34:34,806 --> 00:34:37,809
because, Marc, aren't you
a scientist on this project?

760
00:34:38,109 --> 00:34:41,179
Like this is a very you're
very close to this project.

761
00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:42,547
Yeah.

762
00:34:42,547 --> 00:34:46,584
So I, before
I came to headquarters to

763
00:34:46,717 --> 00:34:51,255
to help with the program
in general, I, I spent 15 years

764
00:34:51,489 --> 00:34:54,492
being, just a regular old
astrophysicist,

765
00:34:54,959 --> 00:34:56,394
at Goddard Space Flight Center.

766
00:34:56,394 --> 00:35:00,431
And, one project that I that
I had the pleasure of starting

767
00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:02,300
with some fantastic colleagues,

768
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:05,002
was this one called back
our worlds planet nine.

769
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:08,139
So, you start with Adam

770
00:35:08,673 --> 00:35:15,346
Schneider and, Erin Meisner,
and now, David Kirkpatrick.

771
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:19,383
We all run this project,
and it's been just so addictive.

772
00:35:19,650 --> 00:35:22,553
Like, I can't describe it
any other way.

773
00:35:22,553 --> 00:35:25,289
We really can't get enough
of working with the team.

774
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:28,493
And this project has discovered,

775
00:35:28,926 --> 00:35:32,997
more than 4000 of these objects
called Brown dwarfs.

776
00:35:33,431 --> 00:35:36,300
So let me tell you more
about the the background. So,

777
00:35:37,902 --> 00:35:40,638
surprisingly
little about what's,

778
00:35:40,638 --> 00:35:45,376
going on beyond, of Neptune.

779
00:35:45,376 --> 00:35:45,676
Right.

780
00:35:45,676 --> 00:35:48,679
So we only recently figured out
that,

781
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,183
Pluto is probably
not best classified as a planet

782
00:35:52,183 --> 00:35:52,517
because there's

783
00:35:52,517 --> 00:35:55,553
lots of other objects out there
that that resemble Pluto.

784
00:35:56,154 --> 00:36:00,625
But, what we're doing
is we're perpetually repeating,

785
00:36:00,625 --> 00:36:01,225
in some ways,

786
00:36:01,225 --> 00:36:04,462
the experiment that Clyde
Tombaugh did to discover Pluto.

787
00:36:04,795 --> 00:36:06,731
So he would look
at an image of the sky

788
00:36:06,731 --> 00:36:08,065
taken one day,

789
00:36:08,065 --> 00:36:09,033
another image of it

790
00:36:09,033 --> 00:36:11,102
taken a few days later,
and he would blink back

791
00:36:11,102 --> 00:36:12,970
and forth to search for moving
objects.

792
00:36:12,970 --> 00:36:15,973
And amazingly enough,
to see the end of this,

793
00:36:16,207 --> 00:36:17,842
of this little arrow.

794
00:36:17,842 --> 00:36:21,179
There, was a little dot,
and somehow he recognized that

795
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:25,383
that dot had moved over here
in the next, shot.

796
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:28,119
So it's like,
so the difference in the photos,

797
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:29,320
it's like a game, right?

798
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,523
That people are from who?

799
00:36:34,392 --> 00:36:36,961
So, Yeah.

800
00:36:36,961 --> 00:36:39,764
So Clyde Tombaugh
found down Pluto that way.

801
00:36:39,764 --> 00:36:40,631
And we are going

802
00:36:40,631 --> 00:36:43,734
to look for other objects
that are using the same system,

803
00:36:43,834 --> 00:36:46,270
but instead of visible light,
we use infrared light.

804
00:36:46,270 --> 00:36:49,240
So it will be sensitive
to objects that are,

805
00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:52,610
you know, meaning their own
thermal radiation.

806
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:53,277
Right.

807
00:36:53,277 --> 00:36:56,280
And, so

808
00:36:57,248 --> 00:37:00,184
one example of an object
that we could find is

809
00:37:00,184 --> 00:37:03,454
the hypothetical object called
planet nine and planet nine.

810
00:37:03,788 --> 00:37:06,524
The hypothesis comes from this,
which is that

811
00:37:06,524 --> 00:37:08,259
there are a whole bunch
of objects out there

812
00:37:08,259 --> 00:37:09,694
that sort of resemble Pluto,

813
00:37:09,694 --> 00:37:12,597
and their orbits have patterns
in them.

814
00:37:12,597 --> 00:37:15,600
They,

815
00:37:15,766 --> 00:37:17,802
there are correlations
among their orbits

816
00:37:17,802 --> 00:37:18,736
which make it look like

817
00:37:18,736 --> 00:37:21,739
they've been shepherded by,
some kind of

818
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:25,509
massive object
that has maybe, you know,

819
00:37:25,509 --> 00:37:28,479
six times
the mass of planet Earth.

820
00:37:29,046 --> 00:37:30,581
Would nicely explain
the patterns

821
00:37:30,581 --> 00:37:31,082
that we see

822
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:34,085
in the orbits of these other
objects called type objects,

823
00:37:34,151 --> 00:37:35,753
type of belt objects.

824
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:38,856
So, we're out there

825
00:37:38,856 --> 00:37:42,593
looking for this possible
perturbing, right.

826
00:37:42,593 --> 00:37:43,527
Planet nine.

827
00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:45,763
It would be
if we just count in order.

828
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:49,066
But we're also sensitive.

829
00:37:49,066 --> 00:37:52,436
Besides this particular
hypothesis about Planet nine,

830
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:56,907
while also sensitive
to an analog of Saturn out to

831
00:37:57,408 --> 00:38:02,213
28,000 astronomical units beyond
28,000 astronomical units.

832
00:38:02,446 --> 00:38:05,616
So we might see planet ten 1112.

833
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:06,751
Right.

834
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:09,787
If we if we're in the right
place at the right time.

835
00:38:10,454 --> 00:38:11,856
Yeah.

836
00:38:11,856 --> 00:38:14,258
That quick question actually

837
00:38:14,258 --> 00:38:15,726
got a quick question
from our viewers.

838
00:38:15,726 --> 00:38:20,131
Has of you wants to know, can
people use this like projects

839
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:23,601
like this to get into
astrophysics as a beginner?

840
00:38:25,703 --> 00:38:26,504
Of course.

841
00:38:26,504 --> 00:38:28,272
Of course you can. Someone.

842
00:38:28,272 --> 00:38:32,643
We'd love it if you'd, if you
if we caught your imagination.

843
00:38:32,777 --> 00:38:36,180
And we serve to inspire you,
to pursue,

844
00:38:37,281 --> 00:38:40,284
you know, deeper studies
in astronomy, astrophysics.

845
00:38:40,484 --> 00:38:43,487
That would be a big one
for us. So,

846
00:38:44,622 --> 00:38:45,456
I sure hope so.

847
00:38:45,456 --> 00:38:48,459
And, Marc, some of these people,
we've had some.

848
00:38:50,361 --> 00:38:50,661
Sorry.

849
00:38:50,661 --> 00:38:51,729
I think we were on the set.

850
00:38:51,729 --> 00:38:54,665
I was going to ask the same
question, like, aren't I?

851
00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:56,300
I believe
just from working with you,

852
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:57,401
I've heard that, you know,

853
00:38:57,401 --> 00:39:01,839
some people that do discover
some of these, objects in space

854
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,209
don't come from an astrophysics
background

855
00:39:05,209 --> 00:39:07,745
or a scientific background,
but it's through these projects.

856
00:39:07,745 --> 00:39:11,015
They were connected
with, project scientists

857
00:39:11,282 --> 00:39:14,985
or astrophysics communities,
and it really kind of was a door

858
00:39:14,985 --> 00:39:16,721
into this world.

859
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:18,823
Exactly.

860
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:20,591
To here and now.

861
00:39:20,591 --> 00:39:23,761
More than
500 of our participants

862
00:39:24,228 --> 00:39:28,232
have become coauthors,
unpublished scientific papers

863
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:31,235
through their work on NASA
citizen science projects.

864
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:34,839
We do our best
to post them on this web page.

865
00:39:34,839 --> 00:39:37,842
I'm going to show you
now, oops,

866
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,012
where to go?

867
00:39:42,012 --> 00:39:45,015
And there we go.

868
00:39:48,252 --> 00:39:51,389
So here we have more than 500

869
00:39:52,423 --> 00:39:55,259
coauthors on papers,

870
00:39:55,259 --> 00:39:58,262
and that just delights me
to no end.

871
00:39:59,663 --> 00:40:00,698
Wow. Awesome.

872
00:40:00,698 --> 00:40:02,700
Somebody on this stream?
Maybe next.

873
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:06,704
So be sure to, be sure
to check out the projects.

874
00:40:07,037 --> 00:40:08,739
And so Marc, with that,

875
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:10,307
folks are super jazzed

876
00:40:10,307 --> 00:40:12,777
about this idea
about finding Planet Nine.

877
00:40:12,777 --> 00:40:14,812
Let's get started.
In one of these tasks.

878
00:40:14,812 --> 00:40:17,815
How do we, you know,
get into it?

879
00:40:18,315 --> 00:40:20,351
Let's do it. Let's get into it.

880
00:40:20,351 --> 00:40:24,522
And while you're pulling up
the task, we have cobalt.

881
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:27,792
Ethan, who asks, is the hunt

882
00:40:27,792 --> 00:40:31,162
for Planet
Nine a radar based approach?

883
00:40:32,363 --> 00:40:33,864
It is a

884
00:40:33,864 --> 00:40:37,134
Ranger request approach,
not more practical

885
00:40:37,134 --> 00:40:40,604
than an infrared picture
based attempt for detection.

886
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:43,507
Oh, that's
that's really a great question.

887
00:40:43,507 --> 00:40:46,444
Yeah. So radar has taught us
a lot about the solar system.

888
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:49,914
It's great for, interrogating
the moon, interrogating your,

889
00:40:50,347 --> 00:40:52,483
Earth asteroids. Right.

890
00:40:52,483 --> 00:40:56,654
If you have enough power, 
you can bounce a signal off

891
00:40:56,654 --> 00:40:57,888
of one of these objects

892
00:40:57,888 --> 00:41:00,891
and really learn quite precisely
what its orbit is.

893
00:41:01,091 --> 00:41:05,596
So, the trouble with
finding Planet Nine is that,

894
00:41:05,696 --> 00:41:09,166
we wouldn't know quite where
to point the outgoing beam.

895
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,069
Right. So that's it?

896
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:15,239
Could be anywhere
in a pretty big,

897
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,510
donut kind of space,
and you'd be scanning all day.

898
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:21,879
So instead of doing that,
we try to collect

899
00:41:21,879 --> 00:41:23,080
light from the object,

900
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,983
and people are searching for it
in infrared radiation

901
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:28,552
and searching
for invisible radiation.

902
00:41:28,552 --> 00:41:32,289
And this particular search is
an infrared search, so it wins.

903
00:41:32,523 --> 00:41:35,059
In the
case where the planet had,

904
00:41:36,227 --> 00:41:37,895
is especially

905
00:41:37,895 --> 00:41:40,965
good at absorbing light
or is especially massive.

906
00:41:41,565 --> 00:41:45,669
So, so we track,

907
00:41:45,669 --> 00:41:48,639
we try
all these different techniques.

908
00:41:49,573 --> 00:41:49,874
All right.

909
00:41:49,874 --> 00:41:53,277
You know, I mentioned
Brown Dwarf on this stream.

910
00:41:53,277 --> 00:41:56,046
Brown.

911
00:41:56,046 --> 00:41:58,582
Yeah. So,

912
00:41:58,582 --> 00:42:02,586
Brown dwarf, is what happens
if you have a ball of gas

913
00:42:02,753 --> 00:42:06,757
and it's not big enough
to sustain nuclear fusion

914
00:42:06,757 --> 00:42:07,391
in its center.

915
00:42:07,391 --> 00:42:10,628
So, you know, the sun burns
because it's steadily combining

916
00:42:10,628 --> 00:42:13,731
hydrogen,
nuclei into helium nuclei.

917
00:42:14,231 --> 00:42:17,334
But in order to do that,
you need certain, pressure.

918
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:18,002
Right.

919
00:42:18,002 --> 00:42:21,005
And if your ball of gas isn't
big enough, then it

920
00:42:21,071 --> 00:42:22,740
it might start some nuclear

921
00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:24,942
reaction or other,
but it kind of peters out

922
00:42:24,942 --> 00:42:26,210
and you don't end up
with a star.

923
00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:28,212
You end up with a brown dwarf.
Yeah.

924
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:30,381
Wait. Hey, wait, wait a minute.

925
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:33,384
You should be saying
that sounds a lot like Jupiter.

926
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:34,919
Jupiter is a ball of gas.

927
00:42:34,919 --> 00:42:36,287
It's two.

928
00:42:36,287 --> 00:42:40,090
It's not massive
enough to be a star.

929
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:41,625
You'd be right.

930
00:42:41,625 --> 00:42:45,729
So, gas giant planets and brown
dwarfs, they're kind of,

931
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:49,533
the kind of two ends
of the same thing, right?

932
00:42:49,533 --> 00:42:52,503
If you had Jupiter
and it was around another,

933
00:42:52,503 --> 00:42:56,140
and it was out there on its own
without a, star,

934
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:57,675
you might consider it
a brown dwarf.

935
00:42:57,675 --> 00:43:01,579
And likewise, we often,
have trouble figuring out

936
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:04,715
when we see a planetary a planet
candidate around a star.

937
00:43:04,915 --> 00:43:07,051
Is that a planet?
Is that a brown dwarf?

938
00:43:07,051 --> 00:43:10,654
The two
populations overlap. So,

939
00:43:12,289 --> 00:43:12,957
that your

940
00:43:12,957 --> 00:43:16,594
planet Nine, has not yet
discovered

941
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:18,796
Planet Nine, or
you would have heard about it.

942
00:43:18,796 --> 00:43:21,165
It would have been
on the front page, very paper.

943
00:43:21,165 --> 00:43:24,168
But it has found more than 4000

944
00:43:24,168 --> 00:43:27,638
brown dwarfs, including entire
new categories of brown dwarfs.

945
00:43:27,638 --> 00:43:30,507
And nobody knew existed before.

946
00:43:30,507 --> 00:43:33,744
And this was only
we find one today.

947
00:43:34,712 --> 00:43:37,481
Okay, so here
is what we're going to do.

948
00:43:37,481 --> 00:43:40,451
I know I'm fighting at the bit.

949
00:43:40,751 --> 00:43:43,487
Okay, I'm going to smash
the join in button,

950
00:43:43,487 --> 00:43:46,490
and we're going to dive in
and see what we discover.

951
00:43:47,257 --> 00:43:47,691
Oops.

952
00:43:47,691 --> 00:43:50,227
And I messed up somehow.

953
00:43:50,227 --> 00:43:52,997
We're going to match
the Get Started

954
00:43:52,997 --> 00:43:56,634
button
as I was saying, and get going.

955
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:57,601
Okay, so here remember

956
00:43:57,601 --> 00:43:58,636
we were talking about
how there's

957
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:01,739
this little bar down here
and the the go to play button.

958
00:44:01,939 --> 00:44:04,408
So this time
I'm going to hit the play button

959
00:44:04,408 --> 00:44:06,477
and see what happens because
we have a bunch of frames.

960
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:07,978
Remember
I talked about how Clyde

961
00:44:07,978 --> 00:44:10,981
Tombaugh was studying pictures
taken at different times.

962
00:44:11,048 --> 00:44:11,949
That's what we're doing here.

963
00:44:11,949 --> 00:44:15,786
We got four different shots
of the same chunk of Sky

964
00:44:17,087 --> 00:44:17,454
in here.

965
00:44:17,454 --> 00:44:18,889
We can
play them over and over again

966
00:44:18,889 --> 00:44:19,990
and I'll just keep this playing.

967
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:22,960
In fact, I crank up the speed.

968
00:44:23,694 --> 00:44:26,697
Does that make you guys happy
over there in Twitch Land?

969
00:44:28,032 --> 00:44:29,933
I know it's not quite like.

970
00:44:29,933 --> 00:44:32,636
What are we looking for?

971
00:44:32,636 --> 00:44:33,704
Yeah.

972
00:44:33,704 --> 00:44:36,707
Okay, so.

973
00:44:36,707 --> 00:44:39,109
As you can see, there's
a whole lot of noise on there.

974
00:44:39,109 --> 00:44:42,046
And that's what happens
when you stare into deep space.

975
00:44:42,046 --> 00:44:45,549
You get a lot of, of,

976
00:44:46,784 --> 00:44:48,385
there's a lot of noise
you have to go through.

977
00:44:48,385 --> 00:44:52,556
But there are also some objects
that are clearly not noise.

978
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:54,758
And that is what we're
looking at.

979
00:44:54,758 --> 00:44:56,393
That's what we're looking for.

980
00:44:56,393 --> 00:44:58,929
We are looking for things
that,

981
00:44:58,929 --> 00:45:01,932
we refer to as movers
or dipoles.

982
00:45:02,499 --> 00:45:07,705
And let's look at the examples
in the field, guy.

983
00:45:08,338 --> 00:45:12,409
And this is a dipole for you
see, it flips back and forth.

984
00:45:13,844 --> 00:45:15,212
It's dark on one side.

985
00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:17,047
It's light on the other side.

986
00:45:17,047 --> 00:45:18,816
They have these great cookies
in New York City.

987
00:45:18,816 --> 00:45:20,150
They're like chocolate
on one side.

988
00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:23,153
You know, that's that's what
these things remind me of.

989
00:45:23,620 --> 00:45:24,455
If we had one of those,

990
00:45:24,455 --> 00:45:27,458
it flip back and forth,
it would be a dipole.

991
00:45:27,791 --> 00:45:30,461
And then, that's an object.

992
00:45:30,461 --> 00:45:31,995
If you see that you're
looking at an object

993
00:45:31,995 --> 00:45:35,265
that's moving across the sky,
kind of moderate speed,

994
00:45:35,999 --> 00:45:39,002
if you find something
that we call a mover,

995
00:45:39,970 --> 00:45:43,440
then you're extra lucky,
because now you're looking at

996
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,044
an object that's really whipping
across space.

997
00:45:47,711 --> 00:45:50,981
Here's an example
of a really bright mover.

998
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:56,620
This one happens to be red color
because it's it's cool.

999
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,156
Extra points
for finding cool objects.

1000
00:45:59,156 --> 00:46:00,791
I'm talking
about in temperature. Cool.

1001
00:46:00,791 --> 00:46:03,560
So this object is close to room
temperature

1002
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,429
and a dipole will look that far.
It's probably hot.

1003
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:08,766
It's probably 5 or 6 times
room temperature maybe.

1004
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:11,435
But here we have an object.

1005
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:14,438
A mover marches
across the street screen

1006
00:46:14,471 --> 00:46:16,240
in a straight line.

1007
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:19,209
So both a dipole and mover,

1008
00:46:19,877 --> 00:46:21,578
they're going
in a straight line.

1009
00:46:21,578 --> 00:46:24,581
So if you see something
that's kind of like,

1010
00:46:24,581 --> 00:46:29,153
it's like twisting or it's
expanding and contracting

1011
00:46:29,419 --> 00:46:32,222
or it's changing shape, 
it's probably not

1012
00:46:32,222 --> 00:46:33,557
one of these objects.

1013
00:46:33,557 --> 00:46:33,791
All right.

1014
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:34,825
So is everybody kind of

1015
00:46:34,825 --> 00:46:38,729
of prepped everybody tuned
to look for movers and bikes.

1016
00:46:38,796 --> 00:46:41,165
Everybody's
equipped. We've got Steph.

1017
00:46:42,566 --> 00:46:42,966
Who wants

1018
00:46:42,966 --> 00:46:45,969
to know what is a dipole.

1019
00:46:45,969 --> 00:46:46,870
Yeah.

1020
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:50,140
Let's see if we can find one
in this image.

1021
00:46:51,308 --> 00:46:54,144
Was that your cookie reference.

1022
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:55,546
That's the cookie
reference right.

1023
00:46:55,546 --> 00:47:00,751
So it's some of like one
and it's like I see one.

1024
00:47:00,751 --> 00:47:03,754
So this project has got

1025
00:47:04,321 --> 00:47:06,323
labels on the axes.

1026
00:47:06,323 --> 00:47:09,326
So if you see one
you could call out

1027
00:47:09,793 --> 00:47:11,728
the coordinates
where you see it.

1028
00:47:11,728 --> 00:47:12,462
Okay.

1029
00:47:12,462 --> 00:47:16,800
These are at about 3.50

1030
00:47:17,401 --> 00:47:20,237
and 150

1031
00:47:20,237 --> 00:47:23,740
and a little above 45.12,

1032
00:47:24,741 --> 00:47:28,278
-45.12.

1033
00:47:29,213 --> 00:47:32,049
Is that this sucker
you're talking about?

1034
00:47:32,049 --> 00:47:32,382
Yeah.

1035
00:47:32,382 --> 00:47:35,419
Is it is the light flipping
white and black?

1036
00:47:36,486 --> 00:47:37,821
I'm making that up.

1037
00:47:37,821 --> 00:47:40,824
What do y'all think in the chat?

1038
00:47:41,825 --> 00:47:44,294
W's in the chat.

1039
00:47:44,294 --> 00:47:47,097
Yeah 350 top white top right.

1040
00:47:47,097 --> 00:47:48,932
Cookie in space.

1041
00:47:48,932 --> 00:47:50,467
Up right. Cookie in space.

1042
00:47:50,467 --> 00:47:53,370
What do you think? Yeah.
What do you think, Marc?

1043
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:56,974
Yeah, I it's definitely
flipping back and forth for me.

1044
00:47:56,974 --> 00:47:59,977
It's not super clean,
like there's some,

1045
00:48:00,544 --> 00:48:03,080
there's some sort of,
like, weird

1046
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,083
kind of noise or distortion
to the shape over here.

1047
00:48:06,917 --> 00:48:11,288
But yeah, we've got other folks
asking about E14.

1048
00:48:12,322 --> 00:48:15,325
Is that selling you on a dipole?

1049
00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:19,329
Any chance, see,

1050
00:48:19,329 --> 00:48:22,332
what is E14 mean?

1051
00:48:22,366 --> 00:48:24,935
Can I get, like, a maybe that 
this number is called

1052
00:48:24,935 --> 00:48:27,671
the Right ascension. This number
is called the declination.

1053
00:48:27,671 --> 00:48:30,641
I get a right ascension number
and a declination number.

1054
00:48:34,778 --> 00:48:40,484
3.42, negative four and 5.22.

1055
00:48:41,685 --> 00:48:45,455
-45 degrees.

1056
00:48:46,556 --> 00:48:47,691
Yeah.

1057
00:48:47,691 --> 00:48:51,461
Folks are thinking something
around that 45 right there.

1058
00:48:52,930 --> 00:48:56,099
Yeah, it's definitely
something going on there also.

1059
00:48:56,099 --> 00:48:58,135
That's kind of complicated.

1060
00:48:58,135 --> 00:49:00,270
Yeah it is.

1061
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,206
So, Marc, if we need to move on
past this task,

1062
00:49:03,206 --> 00:49:06,143
like, should folks make a,

1063
00:49:07,311 --> 00:49:09,546
a pointer on a

1064
00:49:09,546 --> 00:49:12,549
dipole if they are not sure?

1065
00:49:12,582 --> 00:49:15,986
Or, is is this a project

1066
00:49:15,986 --> 00:49:19,189
where if we make a marker,

1067
00:49:20,691 --> 00:49:23,226
even if we're on the fence,
it doesn't mess up the data.

1068
00:49:23,226 --> 00:49:24,795
Yeah.

1069
00:49:24,795 --> 00:49:27,164
Oh, you don't have to worry
about messing up data

1070
00:49:27,164 --> 00:49:29,166
on these projects
in general, right?

1071
00:49:29,166 --> 00:49:32,169
Because lots of people
will weigh in.

1072
00:49:32,469 --> 00:49:35,238
Don't be afraid of that.

1073
00:49:35,238 --> 00:49:35,706
Okay.

1074
00:49:35,706 --> 00:49:38,709
I think this one is worth
calling attention to.

1075
00:49:39,943 --> 00:49:40,777
I click okay.

1076
00:49:40,777 --> 00:49:42,813
And can you scroll up
a little bit?

1077
00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:45,816
Folks
can't see the bottom right now.

1078
00:49:48,618 --> 00:49:49,019
Okay.

1079
00:49:49,019 --> 00:49:52,022
Get way down so I can more
easily click it in every frame.

1080
00:49:55,726 --> 00:49:56,226
Okay,

1081
00:49:56,226 --> 00:49:59,229
everyone, we have one like that.

1082
00:49:59,296 --> 00:50:02,265
Yeah. And then you know what?

1083
00:50:02,265 --> 00:50:02,866
There's a bunch.

1084
00:50:02,866 --> 00:50:05,135
There's bunch more on here.

1085
00:50:05,135 --> 00:50:08,939
So I want to call
this thing to your attention.

1086
00:50:10,807 --> 00:50:12,542
Okay.

1087
00:50:12,542 --> 00:50:13,343
Yeah.

1088
00:50:13,343 --> 00:50:16,346
See, it's faint, but
look how flips back and forth

1089
00:50:16,980 --> 00:50:19,983
and then mark that sucker up.

1090
00:50:21,184 --> 00:50:22,953
Marc, we've got
and wanting to know

1091
00:50:22,953 --> 00:50:26,089
if you look in the bottom right
corner,

1092
00:50:26,390 --> 00:50:29,493
but, around 45, 20.

1093
00:50:29,493 --> 00:50:32,496
What's that big
kind of splash of light.

1094
00:50:33,063 --> 00:50:35,198
You're going to see it
right there.

1095
00:50:35,198 --> 00:50:37,034
Yeah. Okay.

1096
00:50:37,034 --> 00:50:37,634
You know what?

1097
00:50:37,634 --> 00:50:38,502
You know what we can do?

1098
00:50:38,502 --> 00:50:38,935
We can.

1099
00:50:38,935 --> 00:50:39,770
There's a couple ways

1100
00:50:39,770 --> 00:50:43,540
we can find out more information
about this particular image.

1101
00:50:44,141 --> 00:50:47,144
So this project remember I said
these projects are rabbit holes

1102
00:50:47,310 --> 00:50:50,213
since little I in a circle,

1103
00:50:50,213 --> 00:50:52,449
if I mash the information.

1104
00:50:52,449 --> 00:50:53,316
Right.

1105
00:50:53,316 --> 00:50:53,583
Yeah.

1106
00:50:53,583 --> 00:50:56,319
It's going to take me
to a bunch of links.

1107
00:50:56,319 --> 00:50:58,922
Let's go to the wise view link.

1108
00:50:58,922 --> 00:51:01,825
So wise view is a tool written
by a citizen scientists.

1109
00:51:02,826 --> 00:51:04,694
That's going to show me

1110
00:51:04,694 --> 00:51:07,697
a different view
of the same data

1111
00:51:08,498 --> 00:51:10,567
and might have whoa

1112
00:51:10,567 --> 00:51:13,270
patient for us.

1113
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:14,905
Oh my goodness.
Is this available.

1114
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:17,874
Every project right in

1115
00:51:17,874 --> 00:51:19,042
well,
every project's different.

1116
00:51:19,042 --> 00:51:20,110
Yeah.

1117
00:51:20,110 --> 00:51:23,980
I mean, lots of projects have,
have other links in them, but

1118
00:51:24,514 --> 00:51:26,616
this, is unique
to this project.

1119
00:51:26,616 --> 00:51:30,720
So now we can see what's going
on pretty clearly right now.

1120
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:31,621
Okay.

1121
00:51:31,621 --> 00:51:34,624
So what's going to happen okay.

1122
00:51:35,692 --> 00:51:38,595
No, this is
this is just a bright star.

1123
00:51:38,595 --> 00:51:41,598
So these are the
I tried Nostra Diva.

1124
00:51:42,265 --> 00:51:44,201
Yeah.

1125
00:51:44,201 --> 00:51:47,237
So stars are fascinating.

1126
00:51:47,237 --> 00:51:48,071
And of course

1127
00:51:48,071 --> 00:51:49,706
this project,
most of the objects

1128
00:51:49,706 --> 00:51:50,407
that are bright enough

1129
00:51:50,407 --> 00:51:51,208
to have diffraction

1130
00:51:51,208 --> 00:51:54,211
spikes in this project are
things that are already known.

1131
00:51:54,211 --> 00:51:57,214
But the prizes in this project
are, faint.

1132
00:51:57,581 --> 00:51:59,082
They're often red.

1133
00:51:59,082 --> 00:51:59,683
So we're

1134
00:51:59,683 --> 00:52:00,417
we're really trying

1135
00:52:00,417 --> 00:52:03,420
to find things that have not yet
been discovered here.

1136
00:52:04,154 --> 00:52:06,423
So I wouldn't
get too excited about this one,

1137
00:52:06,423 --> 00:52:10,360
because I'm pretty sure that
it's already in the literature.

1138
00:52:11,528 --> 00:52:12,229
It's nice.

1139
00:52:12,229 --> 00:52:14,865
It's nice to spot it again,
comfort ourselves. Right.

1140
00:52:14,865 --> 00:52:18,668
But if you want to discover
your own thing, you want to dig,

1141
00:52:19,202 --> 00:52:22,539
deeper and look for objects
that are fainter.

1142
00:52:22,772 --> 00:52:25,775
So where was that? That,

1143
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:28,979
object that we saw that
we've been clicking on here?

1144
00:52:29,546 --> 00:52:31,848
I think we can find this
in the wise view

1145
00:52:31,848 --> 00:52:34,851
image.

1146
00:52:36,686 --> 00:52:37,287
That's something.

1147
00:52:37,287 --> 00:52:38,421
It was.

1148
00:52:38,421 --> 00:52:41,358
Yeah,
it was somewhere around there.

1149
00:52:41,358 --> 00:52:42,125
Yeah.

1150
00:52:42,125 --> 00:52:45,128
It's all it's kind of a triple
the objects.

1151
00:52:45,262 --> 00:52:46,163
You see how in this view

1152
00:52:46,163 --> 00:52:49,166
it's a lot harder
to spot moving things.

1153
00:52:50,567 --> 00:52:53,570
It's the same data
just visualized a different way.

1154
00:52:53,670 --> 00:52:54,371
Right.

1155
00:52:54,371 --> 00:52:57,274
And here this view,

1156
00:52:57,274 --> 00:52:59,943
really hones in on

1157
00:52:59,943 --> 00:53:02,846
it really emphasizes
objects that are moving.

1158
00:53:02,846 --> 00:53:04,614
They really stand out and march.

1159
00:53:04,614 --> 00:53:08,718
You got to that view by clicking
the little eye button, right.

1160
00:53:08,718 --> 00:53:10,954
Can you show us that one more
time?

1161
00:53:10,954 --> 00:53:13,890
Folks are wondering
how they can get to that.

1162
00:53:13,890 --> 00:53:14,925
Great.

1163
00:53:14,925 --> 00:53:17,127
A little eye in the
circle you see the lion so.

1164
00:53:24,501 --> 00:53:26,169
And each
one of these links will tell you

1165
00:53:26,169 --> 00:53:29,172
more information about
what's going on in the scene.

1166
00:53:29,606 --> 00:53:32,609
You can research
your favorite object.

1167
00:53:32,676 --> 00:53:34,945
You can often find out
that your object doesn't

1168
00:53:34,945 --> 00:53:37,614
have any information on it
which is great.

1169
00:53:37,614 --> 00:53:40,350
It's actually you love that
right.

1170
00:53:40,350 --> 00:53:41,351
Yeah.

1171
00:53:41,351 --> 00:53:43,587
Yeah.

1172
00:53:43,587 --> 00:53:47,891
In fact, if you research
your favorite object in this,

1173
00:53:48,391 --> 00:53:51,394
database called Sinbad.

1174
00:53:53,563 --> 00:53:55,265
And your object
that you've clicked on

1175
00:53:55,265 --> 00:53:59,636
is not in Sinbad, then
we really want you to report it.

1176
00:53:59,769 --> 00:54:02,772
This is kind of, advanced.

1177
00:54:03,940 --> 00:54:05,175
This is the next level stuff.

1178
00:54:05,175 --> 00:54:08,645
If you if your object is
not in Sinbad, then we love it.

1179
00:54:08,645 --> 00:54:12,949
If you would report it by using
the think you've got one form.

1180
00:54:13,717 --> 00:54:15,385
Can I show you
the thing? You've got one form.

1181
00:54:16,786 --> 00:54:17,287
Yeah.

1182
00:54:17,287 --> 00:54:19,389
Let's do it more.

1183
00:54:19,389 --> 00:54:20,523
All right.

1184
00:54:20,523 --> 00:54:23,526
If you found something
interesting and want to learn,

1185
00:54:24,494 --> 00:54:25,662
if you found
something interesting

1186
00:54:25,662 --> 00:54:28,565
and you want to learn
more about it, see the FAQ.

1187
00:54:28,565 --> 00:54:32,202
You always the FAQ here
in the FAQ you will find

1188
00:54:32,902 --> 00:54:35,238
you think, oh, here's
the black and white cookie.

1189
00:54:35,238 --> 00:54:35,505
You will.

1190
00:54:35,505 --> 00:54:36,806
So this is what we use

1191
00:54:36,806 --> 00:54:39,809
if we think we found something
new right?

1192
00:54:40,377 --> 00:54:43,380
If I think I discovered
something,

1193
00:54:43,747 --> 00:54:47,550
it's great to mark it
on the page, but please fill out

1194
00:54:48,151 --> 00:54:51,154
this form.

1195
00:54:51,721 --> 00:54:54,257
Here's a form
and you can send us.

1196
00:54:54,257 --> 00:54:55,725
What'll happen is that,

1197
00:54:55,725 --> 00:54:59,029
if you send if you click
on things, we will find out.

1198
00:54:59,429 --> 00:55:00,664
Every few months

1199
00:55:00,664 --> 00:55:04,234
we'll go through the click data
and and and sort through it.

1200
00:55:04,701 --> 00:55:06,670
If you fill out
the think you've got one form

1201
00:55:06,670 --> 00:55:08,171
we'll find out faster.

1202
00:55:08,171 --> 00:55:09,139
Plus it's

1203
00:55:09,139 --> 00:55:10,774
going to ask you
for more information

1204
00:55:10,774 --> 00:55:13,009
that will help us
make sense of it sooner.

1205
00:55:13,009 --> 00:55:15,412
So if you think that you've got
something that's important

1206
00:55:15,412 --> 00:55:18,948
and you really want to,
get quick answer on it, it's

1207
00:55:18,948 --> 00:55:19,749
still not quick.

1208
00:55:19,749 --> 00:55:23,553
Like, compared to like,
you know, a video game.

1209
00:55:23,553 --> 00:55:24,321
Sorry.

1210
00:55:24,321 --> 00:55:28,091
But, it's it's, it's faster

1211
00:55:29,659 --> 00:55:30,460
and you can fill out

1212
00:55:30,460 --> 00:55:33,430
this form,
and the science team will

1213
00:55:33,697 --> 00:55:36,700
will find out faster
whether you have a reply.

1214
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:40,770
And you can make a difference,
which is so cool here, Marc,

1215
00:55:41,004 --> 00:55:43,840
I've got I've got about time
for one more question.

1216
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,877
And, 
I have Sean of a chart, Tania,

1217
00:55:48,411 --> 00:55:51,514
who asks,
how can we as citizen scientists

1218
00:55:51,514 --> 00:55:54,517
get coauthored
in research papers?

1219
00:55:54,617 --> 00:55:57,620
So can you give us a quick
answer to that one?

1220
00:55:58,088 --> 00:55:59,322
Yeah.

1221
00:55:59,322 --> 00:56:03,927
There's no one way, the

1222
00:56:05,061 --> 00:56:07,230
yeah, each project is different,

1223
00:56:07,230 --> 00:56:10,533
but each one of the projects
that we looked at has some

1224
00:56:11,034 --> 00:56:13,737
way of engaging
in a conversation.

1225
00:56:13,737 --> 00:56:16,639
So I would do
some of the classifications,

1226
00:56:16,639 --> 00:56:21,010
follow the instructions as best
you can, and then go into the

1227
00:56:21,511 --> 00:56:25,615
the talk boards
and have a conversation

1228
00:56:25,615 --> 00:56:28,785
with the,
with the science team.

1229
00:56:29,052 --> 00:56:30,387
And if there is a form
like to think

1230
00:56:30,387 --> 00:56:32,789
you've got one form, definitely
take advantage of that.

1231
00:56:32,789 --> 00:56:35,125
Daily minor
planet has a form like that,

1232
00:56:36,192 --> 00:56:36,593
so be

1233
00:56:36,593 --> 00:56:39,596
sure to fill out this form here.

1234
00:56:40,363 --> 00:56:41,831
So fill out the forms

1235
00:56:41,831 --> 00:56:45,068
and let the science team know
that you're that you're serious.

1236
00:56:45,435 --> 00:56:49,939
And, as side projects come up,
you'll hear about them.

1237
00:56:50,774 --> 00:56:53,777
And here's the thing.

1238
00:56:54,244 --> 00:56:56,179
It's not planned in advance.

1239
00:56:56,179 --> 00:56:58,148
It's this is science, right?

1240
00:56:58,148 --> 00:57:00,483
It's it's a roller coaster ride.
Yeah.

1241
00:57:00,483 --> 00:57:01,684
It's cool if there's dead

1242
00:57:01,684 --> 00:57:05,288
ends, there's stuff
that doesn't go as you planned.

1243
00:57:05,588 --> 00:57:08,024
There's bad weather,
there's a hypothesis.

1244
00:57:08,024 --> 00:57:10,960
It turns out to be a huge waste
of time for everybody.

1245
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,029
There is,

1246
00:57:13,029 --> 00:57:16,166
you know, it's
it can be rough,

1247
00:57:16,166 --> 00:57:20,236
but there's also these moments
of just.

1248
00:57:20,236 --> 00:57:23,640
Alexa, see,
when you find out that

1249
00:57:24,340 --> 00:57:26,543
when you get surprised
by a result,

1250
00:57:26,543 --> 00:57:28,778
we can discover something
totally new.

1251
00:57:28,778 --> 00:57:30,113
And nothing beats the feeling.

1252
00:57:32,115 --> 00:57:33,316
Absolutely.

1253
00:57:33,316 --> 00:57:35,952
You know, this is so great,
Marc.

1254
00:57:35,952 --> 00:57:37,020
Thank you for walking us

1255
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:39,222
through the citizen science
projects today.

1256
00:57:39,222 --> 00:57:41,191
I mean, as you just mentioned,

1257
00:57:41,191 --> 00:57:43,593
people
really have an opportunity here

1258
00:57:43,593 --> 00:57:45,628
to not only contribute
to science,

1259
00:57:45,628 --> 00:57:48,431
to really make
their own discoveries,

1260
00:57:48,431 --> 00:57:54,070
to find something in this huge
cosmos that is uniquely theirs

1261
00:57:54,070 --> 00:57:57,440
for one moment until it goes
into the science community.

1262
00:57:57,674 --> 00:57:59,409
But I just think that is such

1263
00:57:59,409 --> 00:58:02,412
an amazing thing that you're
really cultivating at NASA.

1264
00:58:02,412 --> 00:58:04,080
And we're so appreciative

1265
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,982
that you were able
to jump on this stream

1266
00:58:05,982 --> 00:58:07,884
and really show us
how anybody can get

1267
00:58:07,884 --> 00:58:09,185
involved in these projects.

1268
00:58:09,185 --> 00:58:12,188
So thank you for joining us.

1269
00:58:12,555 --> 00:58:13,122
Thank you.

1270
00:58:13,122 --> 00:58:15,191
And,

1271
00:58:15,191 --> 00:58:17,594
I hope to see you all on line.

1272
00:58:17,594 --> 00:58:18,595
One of these talk boards.

1273
00:58:20,897 --> 00:58:22,432
Yeah, absolutely.

1274
00:58:22,432 --> 00:58:23,433
Thanks, Marc.

1275
00:58:23,433 --> 00:58:26,436
And thanks to for everybody that
participated in this stream.

1276
00:58:26,603 --> 00:58:28,271
This was amazing.

1277
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:30,740
And it was actually so fun too.

1278
00:58:30,740 --> 00:58:33,243
As somebody that is
just doing this with y'all,

1279
00:58:33,243 --> 00:58:36,779
and I hope you are inspired
to go find your own citizen

1280
00:58:36,779 --> 00:58:40,517
science projects, contribute
your own discoveries and data.

1281
00:58:40,750 --> 00:58:41,951
As Marc mentioned,

1282
00:58:41,951 --> 00:58:46,456
we have so much data
and we it really takes all of us

1283
00:58:46,723 --> 00:58:49,859
to help really advance
humanity's knowledge forward.

1284
00:58:50,326 --> 00:58:53,563
So these were just two of the
many citizen science projects

1285
00:58:53,563 --> 00:58:57,233
that you can get involved in
and participate in at any time,

1286
00:58:57,567 --> 00:59:00,770
many of them from anywhere
from a computer or a phone.

1287
00:59:01,271 --> 00:59:06,476
And so visit science dot
nasa.gov slash citizen science

1288
00:59:06,476 --> 00:59:09,712
to see all of the projects again
that we went over today.

1289
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:13,716
You can also join the global
community of volunteers

1290
00:59:13,716 --> 00:59:18,388
by following do
NASA science on X and Facebook.

1291
00:59:18,755 --> 00:59:21,024
Head on over there
you can share stories.

1292
00:59:21,024 --> 00:59:22,158
You can share findings,

1293
00:59:22,158 --> 00:59:23,159
and you can really learn

1294
00:59:23,159 --> 00:59:26,062
from other people
doing NASA's science.

1295
00:59:26,062 --> 00:59:29,098
We are just so excited
that you joined us today,

1296
00:59:29,098 --> 00:59:32,101
and really look forward to all
the discoveries you will make.

1297
00:59:32,535 --> 00:59:34,237
Thank you and see you next time.
