Unistellar, a smart telescope manufacturer, is enabling citizen scientists to contribute to planetary defense research by tracking the Artemis 2 rocket's light curve using their telescopes. The company's co-founder explained how amateur astronomers can participate in scientific observations of NASA's lunar mission.
The smart telescopes allow users to capture precise astronomical data that contributes to broader scientific research efforts. Citizen scientists using Unistellar's equipment can observe and measure the light patterns from the Artemis 2 spacecraft as it travels toward the Moon.
