A new NASA-funded website is calling on the public to hunt down rogue worlds, and the mysterious Planet Nine.
There’s nothing like a little after-lunch planet-hunting, and if you have some time to spare, NASA could use your help. The agency has launched a Zooniverse website called Backyard Worlds: Planet Nine , where anyone can join in the search for undiscovered planets.
It’s not as glamorous as piloting a spaceship into the Final Frontier, but it’s valuable work. Visitors can pore over images and videos made by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, looking for unknown objects.
