Is there a subreddit to investigate weird phenomenon in the local sky?

Where some experienced people can give their opinions.

Any subreddits to post a hypothesis for those interested in conducting experiments?

I have a hypothesis but no means of conducting the experiment, financially and the ability to use and understand gas chromatography. Is there anywhere to propose scientific questions for testing? I know of /r/askscience but I'm not sure if that's the appropriate place

Thank you all.

Not sure how many people will see this or if anyone even visits this subreddit, but I want to thank all 1,217 subscribers. I collabed on making and compiling the wiki on this sub nearly 3 years ago. This was one of my first experiences on Reddit and slowly seeing our work gain over a thousand subs in a couple days was one of the most inspiring and passionate moments of my lives. Enough with the sappy sad bullshit though, I just wanted to update everyone and say that this project has (obviously) been discontinued. The wiki, though, will stay up til the end of time and is pretty massive. Check it out and go learn something new :)

Peace.

edit: also a huge shoutout to my friend and fellow contributer / partner in crime /u/GodRaine. I haven't talked to you in over a year bud but I hope things are working out for the best for you. Much appreciation and respect for everything you did for me. Big time love dawg.

Why are Philosophy & History catalogued under Science?

The title "Philosophy & History" doesn't appear to fit the Subreddits under it?

Due to recent inactivity /r/ScienceSubreddits will not be updated until further notice. We thank all of our supporters for their dedication to this subreddit. The wiki will of course remain open to all users looking for a cataloged list of "Science Subreddits", but I nor /u/GodRain will update the list for now. We are sorry for complications. Thank you.

NEW FEATURE: /r/ScienceSubreddits now supports Contributing User Flair! (Read inside for more!)

Hi folks!

Myself and /u/southernrock6 started /r/sciencesubreddits about a month ago now and we've been working really hard to get it to where it really serves the community and helps you discover new ones.

The people that have suggested subreddits to us so far - thank you. Your help has been absolutely invaluable not only because we've gotten those subreddits you suggested, but also a large number of others from the sidebars of the ones you've given us.

To show our appreciation and to give you more credit, we've created user flairs for everyone who contributes a subreddit to our wiki! I've already added the flair for those users that have contributed thus far. They are:

  • /u/GiskardReventlov (x5, /r/math, /r/mathematics, /r/algorithms, /r/puremathematics, /r/genetic_algorithms)
  • /u/callmestranger (x2, /r/gis, /r/sustainability)
  • /u/redcell12 (x1, /r/science_infographics)
  • /u/I_Say_I_Say (x1, /r/sciencefacts)
  • /u/Tommy27 (x1, /r/climate_science)
  • /u/afraca (x1, /r/compsci)
  • /u/biohazmatt (x1, /r/labsafety)
  • /u/metrication (x1, /r/metric)
  • /u/endospores (x1, /r/foodscience)
  • /u/thereisnosub (x1, /r/scienceparents)
  • /u/JonvonNeumann (x1, /r/mitochondrialresearch)
  • /u/coffeeffoc (x1, /r/ornithology)
  • /u/merlincm (x1, /r/NautiWetArchaeology)
  • /u/Jasko1111 (x1, /r/Dopamine)
  • /u/askLubich (x1, /r/scienceGIFs)

Thank you to everyone for helping grow this subreddit. We're really grateful for all of you. Please help us by continuing to contribute! We'll update the flair as new contributions come in. :)

please add /r/ScienceParents and /r/weather

Please add /r/ScienceParents. It's mostly science experiments geared towards kids.

I think /r/weather would also qualify as a science subreddit.

Another missing: compsci

Self explanatory: reddit.com/r/compsci for computer science

edit: to add: it's not really active unfortunately, and the content is not always strictly computer science, but it's fine mostly
