DU can help NASA: Find the Birthplace of Planets
Scientists are combing our galaxy looking for stars that could be harbouring planet-forming disks. They need your help to explain this puzzling part of stellar evolution!
Disk Detective is the first NASA led and funded Zooniverse project. It is also the first NASA led and funded crowdsourcing project whose main goal is to produce publishable scientific results. It was built using seed money from NASA's Science Innovation Fund. See the White Houses second Open Government National Action Planfor more information on the U.S. federal governments commitment to crowdsourcing and open data.
