The existence of the Loch Ness monster has long divided humanity.

Some swear by the photographic evidence and sonar readings whilst others believe it to be nothing more than a myth.

NASA is hoped to joining the quest to find the truth.

The Loch Ness Centre, in the Highlands, has requested help from the US space agency as well as other scientists and universities to lend their expertise in a new hunt for the monster.

Last year's research discovered hydrophone recordings of loud underwater noises along with numerous potential sightings - which has only fuelled the desire to dig deeper.

The upcoming search will take place from 30 May to 2 June, on the 90th anniversary of the first-ever organised surface watch of Loch Ness: Sir Edward Mountain’s expedition in 1934.

Since this date, there have been over 1,156 glimpses of the beast recorded on the official Loch Ness Monster sightings register.

To aid in the search, volunteers are being recruited and briefed to keep surface watch, scanning the water for disturbances and recording any findings.

Fortunately, those unable to make it in person can still be part of the project by tuning in on the Visit Inverness Loch Ness website. Multiple cameras have been set up around the loch, allowing people from anywhere in the world to watch out for the giant creature.

Aimee Todd, marketing manager for the Loch Ness Centre, hopes that Nessie hunters around the world will help them reach the scientists at NASA.

'We are hoping that experts from NASA might have some advanced imaging technology to scan the loch,' she added.

'We would have to sit down and talk to them about how to get it here.'

Paul Nixon, Loch Ness Centre general manager highlighted the need for help in solving this quest, from the likes of both 'budding monster hunters' and scientific experts.

'Last year, we captured the world’s attention with one of the biggest ever searches for Nessie, with participants joining us from America, Canada, France, Italy, Japan and more,' Nixon said.

'With unexplained noises heard, alongside possible sightings, this year we are determined to find out more about the elusive Loch Ness Monster.

'We’re excited to make this search the biggest ever, as we look for new equipment to help us uncover the loch’s biggest mysteries.'

The space research centre is yet to respond to the plea for help in the anticipated NASA vs Nessie showdown.
