Mickey Kulp, creator of the Rocket Team books, showed me a certificate he received from the Planetary Science Institute for his help mapping the asteroid Bennu.
"Citizen scientists" like Mick helped spot hazards such as craters, boulders, and big rocks that might damage a lander.
But Mick is not special. Anyone with brains and eyes can help scientists with work like this.
Here is a web site you can look at for other Citizen Science projects: https://cosmoquest.org/x/
