NASA seeks public assistance in studying Sun's chaotic physics and Earth's magnetic field collisions.
NASA has launched a new citizen science project called Heliophysics Audified: Resonances in Plasmas (HARP) that invites volunteers to listen to low-frequency waves generated by solar particles colliding with Earth's magnetic environment. The goal is for volunteers to help identify important features within the cosmic soundscape, which will help scientists better understand space weather events and prepare for them. The HARP team has sped up the waves to make them audible to humans, and believes that humans are often better at listening than machines. Interested volunteers can visit Listen.spacescience.org to participate.
