SETI@home is a scientific experiment, based at UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

The Zooniverse enables everyone to take part in real cutting edge research in many fields across the sciences, humanities, and more. The Zooniverse creates opportunities for you to unlock answers and contribute to real discoveries.

Project PHaEDRA: Smithsonian Digital Volunteers; Transcription Center. At Harvard College Observatory (now the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), women computers studied glass plate photographs of the night sky…

Einstein@Home: a program that uses your computer’s idle time to search for gravitational waves from spinning isolated compact objects (among which are pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector.

SCOPE: At SCOPE, you have the opportunity to explore this topic by observing stars, comparing their features to those of the Sun, and classifying them. Many of these stars have never been classified; you can be the very first person to measure the temperature of a star! This is discovery in the purest sense of the word.
