Help Refine Data from Space Telescopes with Artifact InSPECtor
Explore This Section Science Citizen Science Help Refine Data from Space… Overview Resources Opportunities Citizen Science Highlights About Science Activation How do scientists studying space with data from a telescope hundreds of thousands of miles away know that what they are seeing is real? A new NASA project, Artifact InSPECtor , invites you to find out – and by doing so, to help missions like Euclid and NASA’s new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope answer fundamental questions about our universe. “It’s really cool that we can help teach computers new skills,” said nine-year-old Maeve F. after trying out Artifact InSPECtor. Participants of all ages, including those as young as Maeve, can visit the project to learn how they can contribute to science by training artificial intelligence to remove errors in telescope data. Here’s how it works. The Euclid space telescope, a powerful observatory built by ESA (European Space Agency) with critical contri...
