  1. Abstract We report the discovery of cometary activity associated with minor planet 2005 XR132, a finding facilitated by our NASA Partner programActive Asteroids, hosted on the Zooniverse online Citizen Science platform. Volunteers identified activity in a Dark Energy Camera image of 2005 XR132from UT 2021 March 26, and our own investigation uncovered additional images of activity in Zwicky Transient Facility data spanning UT 2021 January 3 through March 31. 2005 XR132has a semimajor axisa = 3.760 au, eccentricitye= 0.432, inclinationi = 14.°474, and a Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter ofTJ= 2.869, and thus is dynamically classified as a Jupiter-family comet.
