Shock Detectives (NASA): classifying data on Earth's bow shock

For anyone, no prior knowledge needed: a NASA citizen science project (launched in 2026) in which volunteers help interpret data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, four spacecraft flying through the region of Earth's bow shock. Volunteers look at data plots, learn to recognise "peaceful" and "chaotic" plasma regions and click buttons to mark the relevant time periods. Each of the two workflows starts with a 10-15 minute tutorial; a computer, tablet or smartphone is enough, and findings can be discussed in the Talk forum.
