Rubin Comet Catchers is a new Citizen Science project where volunteers help discover comets and other active objects in our solar system using early images from the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. With its giant mirror and massive sky survey, Rubin is poised to find more comets than ever before — and you can be part of the discovery. Just like our successful Active Asteroids project, this effort puts real science in your hands.
