Volunteers recruited to hunt for undiscovered black holes
Original: Citizen science project recruits volunteers to search for undiscovered black holes
A citizen science project is recruiting volunteers to help search for previously undiscovered black holes. Members of the public can take part in analysing data, joining professional astronomers in scanning observations for signs of the invisible objects. The initiative reflects a growing trend of research projects that crowdsource scientific analysis to trained non-experts, potentially accelerating discoveries that would otherwise take scientists far longer on their own.
Why now: The public appeal of black holes and the chance for ordinary people to contribute to real astronomical research is drawing attention.
