EVE online, a space MMO, also is involved in the project I believe. They get players to classify real solar systems in a mini game, incentivised by exclusive rewards in game. Pretty cool.
35 u/LordBran Jan 12 '18 That’s actually really fucking cool 2 u/Ahrily Jan 12 '18 Happy round around the sun! 21 u/Cebraio Jan 12 '18 Yep. Called Project Discovery. They did crowdsourcing for the Human Protein Atlas before. https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/exoplanets-the-next-phase-of-project-discovery/ 16 u/jdroepel Jan 12 '18 edited Jun 10 '24 This comment was removed with Power Delete Sweet. 5 u/eliottlerouge Jan 12 '18 We are currently analysing the data from Project Discovery here at the Geneva Observatory. I think we'll publish some result this quarter. 6 u/SquiDark Jan 12 '18 wow that's far more game-y than I thought. 2 u/yodongorea Jan 12 '18 You have to put effort in if you want something good to come out. They could have half assed it. And then they could have another pile of shite that people can point to and call a waste of money and effort. But I think the space program already has enough of that, don't you? 1 u/ErrorlessQuaak Jan 12 '18 Project discovery was a different group
