NASA needs YOU! :)

Hello

If you have any spare time, then do you fancy helping out NASA find some comet dust hidden in some aerogel? I, unfortunately use Firefox, which means I'm just not good enough for them.

I don't think it should matter too much. I use firefox as well. I'm sure it will work. They just might be unaware of other browsers. Who knows. I'll use IE if I have to anyway. Thanks for posting this.

I don't think it's anything like it at all. I think you have to look at the images yourself. Not just have your computer analize them.

Well i've pre-registerd. I hope I get an email from them.

I'm registered.
I'm always looking for burned out pixels in my photos, which I take lots of..
SO I have "experience"..LOL

Just wanted to be the first to say it:

Good Job Nasa!!!

Stardust lands safly.

What's the exact link that shows in big letters where i can sign up for this? I went to the nasa.gov website and find a lot of info on stardust but not the sign up for this volunteer program.

Here is the direct page..it had been removed from the original news story..


good luck!

As I was reading this thread Foxnews had a story on it and gave the berkley address. They stated that those who register will be trained then given a test. Once you pass the test you will be asked in March to help analyze the photos.

Bet stories like that bump up the participation.

Nice Find! Thanks for the links I am not a TV person so I would have some time to play with this one. I might get this one passed the old lady to have PC time at home to
