Coffee Chat with Planet Hunters

Planet Hunters Logo

Do you want to help discover new planets? How about having your name included on a scientific publication? Watch the Planet Hunters Coffee Chat video tutorials and learn how you can join and become a citizen scientist, be part of the hunt for undiscovered worlds! Planet Hunters Coffee Chat (PHCC) is an opportunity to grab some coffee and hear from astronomers about discovering planets, star variability, light curves with flares, eclipsing binaries, and more! A new video is released every week and you can join online discussions with astronomers: https://www.planethunters.coffee/tutorials. After watching the video series, bring your questions to PHCC’s Live Office Hours and join roundtable discussions on exoplanet discoveries, be introduced to the astronomers who find them, and learn why these discoveries are important to NASA.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
