NASA has launched a citizen science initiative encouraging people to use their smartphones to photograph clouds overhead, contributing to a global effort to improve weather and climate research. Participants can submit images through a dedicated app, helping scientists analyze cloud cover patterns and their impact on Earth’s atmosphere. The project aims to gather widespread data to refine climate models and enhance forecasting accuracy. No special equipment is required—just a clear view of the sky and a willing smartphone user.
NASA wants you to point your phone to the sky and take a picture of the clouds. For science.
