alfa015 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 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?

DroidologyAoD Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 This is awesome! I use zooniverse as well and I really enjoy it!The great thing about Zooniverse is that anyone can use it and use it with their passions. Thanks for sharing!Also, go to planethunters.org to see the official (registered) Zooniverse planet. There have been at least two planets discovered - and confirmed - using that application. -Limo (Iris) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DroidologyAoD Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I think that one of those planets discovered was PH-1b, which orbited 4 stars. That wasan amazing discovery! The main problem is that you need to find a transit and then have it registered as a transit candidate and then have an astronomer to actually take time out of their schedule to either confirm or reject it. Back in February 2014 there were a few hundred planets discovered! I think that they doubled their catalogue in a month with most of those discoveries being transits from the Kepler Space Telescope. I am currently on holiday in Melbourne but am flying back in about an hour so when I get access to a pc I will use that awesome program. Everyone should use Zooniverse.org Limo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfa015 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Aww interesting!Yes, Kepler is awesome, it would be great if ESA launches another telescope to do the same as kepler, but pointing at other parts of the sky. Glad to hear that, enjoy the website.Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
