Phoenix Public Library: Comets, Clues, and Our Cosmic Story

The project Rubin Comet Catchers invites participants to help find new comets and explore small, icy objects in our solar system using images from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. By looking at these pictures, volunteers can spot comets that have never been seen before. Every discovery helps scientists learn how comets form, how the solar system has changed over time, and where icy regions that could support life might be.
