"Join NASA in Tracking Gamma Ray Bursts"

NASA is enlisting citizen-scientists to help track gamma ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe, in order to determine their origins and understand more about their structure. The Burst Chaser initiative calls for volunteers to examine energy plots captured by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and classify the pulses and shapes, contributing to the first catalogue of gamma ray pulse structures and future research on these massive explosions, which provide insight into extreme environments and the early universe.
