alfa015 Posted July 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi! I would like to share with you guys the easiest way you can find potentially habitable exoplanets from home: https://youtu.be/xvjhnhRUxK4?list=PL3RiFKfZj3pv1ZqpFxuZinoGtUGEOankw Have you already tried it?

Yes, I have tried it. My experience is good. It's more easy to easy to use than planet hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Hoenedge Posted July 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I prefer your setup, I had a thing on Microsoft Research WWT where I found a few uncatalogued stars (lol) near Draco. After plugging them in to Aladdin they were cataloged and I lost interest. The prospect of credit in your setup is gold dust <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A computer thing, or something else? Not everyone is willing or able to blind click on youtube vids, so if you could explain what it is here that would be great. What made the experience good?

It is an online website, a project from zooniverse (the creators of another project called planet hunters) The experience is good because anybody can find an exoplanet by doing 3 clicks with the mouse.

As far as i'm concerned.. nop, the website just shows thousands of different light curves and the user just have to look for exoplanets in them.

What are they? light curves, which come from the kepler telescope, show the light issued by different stars and users have to look for transits (dips in the light) caused when exoplanets pass between the earth and the stars sorry for my bad explanation, i think in the video i explain it better because i point to the lights curves while i'm speaking and i also show different graphs regards.
