"Join NASA in Unraveling Cosmic Mysteries"

NASA is enlisting amateur astronomers to help decode the origins of gamma-ray bursts through the Burst Chaser project, where volunteers classify and submit findings of these cosmic events detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory telescope. These bursts, among the most energetic explosions in the universe, remain a mystery in terms of their characteristics and origins. The project has garnered over 1,200 volunteers and aims to provide insights into extreme cosmic environments and the formation of the universe.
