In the past, astronomy was often performed by nobility and extremely enthusiastic amateurs. Take William Herschel: by trade a classically trained musician, but as an amateur astronomer he discovered Uranus and was the first to observe binary star systems, among other things. Although it seems like the scientific exploration of our universe is now in the hands of full-time career astro-professionals, a ton of really valuable science is still done by people with proper day jobs. Today I want to talk about some of the stunning contributions still being made by citizen scientists, and the contributions YOU can make.Links to citizen science programs:JunoCam: www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocamAAVSO: www.aavso.orgZooniverse: www.zooniverse.orgGalaxy Zoo www.galaxyzoo.orgBackyard Worlds: backyardworlds.orgSeti@Home: setiathome.berkeley.eduEinstein@Home einsteinathome.orgMilkyWay@Home milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkywayHosted by Matt O'DowdWritten by Drew Rosen and Matt O'DowdProduced by Rusty WardGraphics by Kurt RossAssistant Editing and Sound Design by Mike PetrowMade by Kornhaber Brown (www.kornhaberbrown.com)Special thanks to our Patreon Big Bang, Quasar and Hypernova Supporters: Big BangBITISMCoolAsCatsDavid NicklasQuasarTambe BarsbayMayank M.
