Calling Citizen Scientists!

 NASA is looking for more volunteers for a project studying planet formation.

It's called Disk Detectives, and all you have to do is watch videos and help determine whether they show planetary disks. It just went to 2.0, so they have more images...but in the first version, people discovered brown dwarfs and a new kind of protoplanetary disks.

Oh, and it's a perfect project to involve kids with if you're homeschooling; the videos are only about ten seconds long so an attention span is not needed ;).
