"University Researchers Seek Black Hole Hunters"
The University of Southampton is seeking citizen scientists to help identify black holes by analyzing telescope data from the TESS satellite, as part of a joint project with the Open University. Volunteers will be trained to spot gravitational lensing events, which indicate the presence of black holes, using just a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The researchers hope to increase the detection of these elusive astronomical phenomena and encourage people of all ages to participate, regardless of prior expertise.
