For a limited time, you can use NASA data to search the sky for "Planet 9"--a hypothetical world that sits outside Neptune's orbit and is responsible for the strange clustering of orbits observed in various trans-neptunian minor planets, such as Sedna. Ninety-nine percent of the data has been searched, can you fill in the last details? Check out this link to get involved

Help uncover Earth's magnetic shield in space. The Sun constantly sends out energy and streams of charged particles, known as the solar wind. These bursts can be powerful—and sometimes risky—for people and technology on Earth. But Earth has a remarkable defense system. It's called the magnetosphere, an invisible barrier shaped by our planet’s magnetic field. It pushes away most of the Sun’s solar wind as it rushes through space. This protective shield plays a major role in keeping Earth safe from the Sun’s intense space weather, making our planet a much more secure place to live. That’s it's often referred to as a “space umbrella” — it helps protect Earth from the Sun’s space weather. NASA has created a wonderful program to support mad scientists like us in monitoring solar wind as it impacts impinges impacts the Earth's magnetosphere.

NASA has organized an international effort to support observations of binary stars. Most stars in our Milky Way galaxy exist in groups, including pairs or “binaries,” in which two stars orbit each other. Some binaries are stars paired with brown dwarfs, balls of gas more massive than planets without enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion. Finding brown dwarfs in pairs helps scientists deduce their ages and origin stories! Backyard Worlds: Binaries invites you to search images made by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope to find these vital brown dwarfs in binary systems. Your discoveries will teach us about brown dwarf formation and identify objects that resemble giant planets like Jupiter. Click here to follow NASA's gateway to discovering brown dwarf binaries on your own!
