Zooniverse Week of 4-25-11

This week I tried something new. I participated in the planet hunters. This is when you are given the light curve of a star and are asked to classify whether or not there are transits. The transits would appears as dips in the light curve or abnormal drops in luminosity. I have found quite a few stars that might have planets around them, for they are Kepler Favorites for planets.
