Fireballs in the Sky

Let’s start at home in WA. Curtin University has an amazing team of scientists you can help out. Download the Fireballs in the Sky app and start letting them know when you see bright meteors and fireballs in the sky.

Galaxy Cruise

Join the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and their Subaru Telescope and the world's best wide-field imaging camera. You’ll be identifying interacting and colliding galaxies!

Help scientists process their data by lending them your computer while you're not using it. With the Berkley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, you can help scientists researching gravitational waves, asteroids and even Coronavirus!

Gravity Spy

The gravitational wave hunting Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in America needs help to sort the glitches from the waves! And we just love the Chirp App that lets you know when LIGO has detected a gravitational wave.

Globe at Night

Do you know where the Southern Cross is? This April, Citizen Scientists can use the Southern Cross to measure and submit local night sky brightness and help raise awareness about light pollution.

Astro Quest

Back at home in WA there’s another great fun Citizen Science project run by our very own International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. Inspecting galaxies isn’t something you do every day! You can with Astro Quest and help computers get classifications correct!
