Hallo,
vor Weihnachten ein neues Projekt von Zooniverse:
Hi there,
I've got some really exciting news for you today. One of our most popular projects is back with a brand new look and fresh data - Planet Hunters TESS
TESS is NASA’s new Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, which will spend the next two years looking for distant alien worlds. The first data release is finally within our reach and we are ready to find planets around other stars in our Galaxy.
The original Planet Hunters project used data from the Kepler mission, which came to an end earlier this year. But with the end of Kepler comes the beginning of TESS, and with that an exciting new project: Planet Hunters TESS. Throughout the mission, TESS will point its four cameras at two-hundred-thousand bright nearby stars, four-hundred times more than Kepler observed throughout its lifetime. These TESS target stars will be closer and brighter than the Kepler targets, which will allow us to more easily observe planet candidates using Earth-based telescopes. The discovery of many more worlds will further our knowledge of planet formation and evolution, and will allow us to better understand the galaxy in which we live.
Start hunting for planets right now at
