This projects is not yet active but you can read about their plans here
Our Mission is to inspire the people of the world with the thrill of individual discovery, a better understanding of our uniquely precious planet, and a wider perspective on our place in the universe.
We are currently working hard to develop the Collaboratory and have begun internal alpha testing. We plan to release a limited alpha version in 2007 and to go live by the end of the year with a full beta version. You can help us launch by making a donation!
Who We Are
We are a diverse group of researchers dedicated to the search for new planets and to enabling you to join this great adventure!
Making You the Astronomer
We're building software with which you can search for and discover new planets, classify stars and learn new facts about known stars, learn much more about your world and the universe, and meet new friends. See what you'll be able to do with the Collaboratory.
What We've Done So Far
We created the Transit Detection Algorithm (TDA), which makes it possible to discover planets from ground-based observatories using the photometric (light-measuring) method. Our TDA has been adapted for use in NASA's Kepler Mission.
