Finding New Planets With Cloud Computing?
Surveys for Transiting Planets Planet finding is a heavy industry these days. The Kepler satellite (http://kepler.nasa.gov/), launched on 06 March 2009, is a NASA mission that uses high-precision photometry to search for transiting exoplanets around main sequence stars. The French … Continue reading
