“We’re seeing the most detailed images of the moon’s surface ever captured from afar — thanks to NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO. The space probe carries a super-powerful camera, which photographs every bit of the moon’s surface for scientists to examine. Only one problem: The LRO is doing such a good job that the scientists can’t keep up.”
So this is where you can come in and join the NASA team in exploring the moon’s surface. We all have random free time where we search the web for a boredom fix. Why not do something worthwhile…and maybe even throw it on your resume. I’m pretty sure the person interviewing you has not explored the moon’s surface. Guarantee it.
Oxford astrophysicist Chris Lintott is asking amateur astronomers (you and me) to help review, measure and classify tens of thousands of moon photos streaming to Earth. He set up the website MoonZoo.org, where anyone can log on, get trained and become a space explorer.
