NASA Citizen Science Paves the Way for Future Exoplanet Discoveries

Upcoming NASA missions like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the Habitable Worlds Observatory will revolutionize exoplanet research with key citizen science contributions. With over 5,000 exoplanets confirmed, the public's involvement has been vital, particularly in initiatives like TESS and Exoplanet Watch. The data collected and analyzed by citizen scientists helps refine observation strategies and enhances scientific discovery.
