Planet Hunters
Planet Hunters is part of the Zooniverse project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.zooniverse.org/ )〕 Its primary goal is to find planets using human eyes. It does this by having users analyze data from the NASA Kepler Space Mission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.planethunters.org/faq#GQ1 )〕 It was launched by a team led by Debra Fischer at Yale University.〔http://news.yale.edu/2010/12/16/citizen-scientists-join-search-earth-planets〕
==Planet hunting==
The Planet Hunters project exploits the fact that humans are better at recognising visual patterns than computers. The website displays an image of data collected by the NASA Kepler Space Mission and asks human users (referred to as "Citizen Scientists") to look at the data and see how the brightness of a star changes over time. This brightness data is represented as a graph and referred to as a star's ''light curve''. Such curves are helpful in discovering extrasolar planets due to the brightness of a star decreasing when a planet passes in front of it, as seen from Earth. Periods of reduced brightness can thus provide evidence of planetary transits, but may also be caused by errors in recording, projection, or other phenomena.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Planet Hunters website )〕
