ClickWorkers
Teachers, get your students hooked on science with Clickworkers. Use real data, and work with real scientists! Surface features help astronomers learn more about solar system bodies. Developing the critical eye needed to identify and measure surface features in images takes a considerable amount of practice. Clickworkers offers you the opportunity to fine-tune your skills. The Clickworkers program presents a series of images from which you can identify and measure the diameter of craters on two solar system bodies (Mars, Eros). In preparation for critically examining the images of the asteroids, Vesta and Ceres, that will be received from the Dawn spacecraft. You can count and measure craters using data obtained from the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft of asteroid Eros and Mars surface images from the Mars Global Surveyor.
