Comets, Clues, and Our Cosmic Story @ Rochester Public Library District
Advertisement
This is a live, interactive Acts of Science: Connected event during Citizen Science Month.
Participants will be guided step by step to contribute to astronomy research together, in real time, and hear from scientists involved in the projects. No experience is needed.
Participation counts toward the shared goal of 2.50 million Acts of Science.
Featured Project
We’ll meet the scientist behind Rubin Comet Catchers and scan real images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory for hidden, active comets. Comets carry important clues about the origin of Earth’s water and the building blocks of life. Every comet you help identify supports scientists studying how planetary systems form and evolve—including our own.
Optional Preparation
Creating a free SciStarter.org account can help you continue participating after the event, but it is not required.
