Jupiter Observation Campaign: Citizen Science at the Outer Planets

NASA Solar System Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) will coordinate and disseminate a consistent process for receiving Jupiter observation data from citizen scientists. This may include a public repository or network matching scientists with citizen scientists who want to provide needed observations in a standard and consistent format. This will be a good Outer Planet mission contribution to the science community. Solar System Thematic E/PO will design a repository, or connect people with a process, and manage the process of defining the formatting and other needs of the data contributions from: 1) Regular observers: who right now do not have a consistent imaging of photography process or file naming convention for their data, etc. 2) Experienced observers, who currently send data on occasion to a network which includes appreciative scientists. record the start and end times of video they view each night, 3) Regional associations (ALPO, ALPO-Japan, BAA etc.) might be able to collect this info, disseminate the ground rules, etc.
