Jupiter is famous for its massive, eye-catching storms.
Now, citizens will be able to help scientists uncover the mysteries of the gigantic planet's storms.
The project is hosted on Zooniverse and utilizes data from NASA's Juno spacecraft, which launched in 2011 arrived at the planet in 2016.
The effort is meant to study the 'different types of clouds that form on Jupiter, in order to better understand how the atmosphere of the largest planet in our solar system works,' Ramanakumar Sankar, lead of the project and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota, explained.
