Lowell Amateur Research Initiative (LARI)
The Lowell Amateur Research Initiative (LARI) is looking to engage the ever-growing and technically sophisticated amateur astronomy community in some exciting research projects with astronomers at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.
LARI brings together professional and amateur astronomers in a way that affords interested amateurs an opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research and potentially make significant contributions to science.
Lowell astronomers are conducting several projects that would benefit from the participation of amateur astronomers and citizen scientists. These projects span a broad range of technical skills and knowledge from taking very deep images of galaxies to monitoring small stars for transient events to data mining. After getting a sense of your skills and interests, we will do our best to match you with the appropriate researcher and project.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI took this from my response to an article on quantum computing.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI have been puzzled of late. With the Higgs Boson "found" does that mean we have M-theory to ponder. I mean the standard model is vindicated and there is a bridge to quantum effects within the standard model. If this is correct the M-theory is valid; please correct me if I have strayed. What I want to know is what does an electron, for instance, look like in any of the other 7 dimensions and can that be computed using this method. Can we develop sensors/ emitters to augment our simple four dimensions? Does that form the basis of what dark matter is? This has had me in a transfixed state since the Higgs was defined. If anyone can elucidate more please feel free!
