Far Orbits makes planet hunting a volunteer project
A citizen-science project invites volunteers and AI assistants to search NASA TESS data for long-period planet candidates that automated pipelines may miss.
- For
- Volunteer planet hunters using AI assistants
- Worth noticing
- The navigation lists Hunt, Candidates, Learn, Use With AI, and Leaderboard as separate destinations.
Field notes
The visible description frames the work as a search through years of NASA TESS data, with volunteers and AI assistants jointly vetting possible candidates. Navigation names separate Hunt, Candidates, Learn, Use With AI, and Leaderboard areas, but the extracted page shows none of their underlying material. Login and registration links are present, so the public snapshot does not establish how much of the research workflow can be explored without an account.
