Open Science Training Courses NASA has developed two freely accessible open science training courses designed for learners who are seeking to enhance their knowledge of open science concepts.  Open Science Essentials This course provides introductory knowledge of the principles, practices, and tools necessary to conduct open science. The course covers key topics such as open data, open peer review, and collaborative research practices. OSE is a concise, stand-alone course built on foundational concepts presented in the Open Science 101 course. Open Science 101 This free, five-module course will provide researchers, students, and the general public with a solid foundation on the principles of open science; how to plan, conduct, and participate in open science research projects; legal and ethical considerations when planning open science projects; and open science best practices. Upon completion of each course, learners will earn a NASA Open Science digital badge.

Others are orbited by brown dwarfs, balls of gas too massive to be planets, but too low-mass to be stars. Astronomers love these brown dwarf-star pairs because being paired with a star helps reveal a brown dwarf’s age.   The new Backyard Worlds: Binaries project lets you help scientists discover these rare and interesting pairs. Using just your computer or smartphone, you can inspect images from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope to help spot these vital brown dwarfs in binary systems.   Click here to get started.
