Planet Hunters

A citizen science project launched in 2010 as part of the Zooniverse platform. It invites volunteers to visually inspect light curves from the Kepler space telescope to identify transiting exoplanets that may have been missed by automated computer algorithms. The project has led to the discovery of numerous planetary systems and several singular astronomical anomalies, most notably Tabby’s Star.
