A couple of weeks ago we explained how the data from @PH_NGTS gets processed to pull out the best candidates. Now you can read about the next step, checking in with the data from TESS! blog.planethunters.org/2023/…

What's that transiting object? It's a Ho-Ho-Hot Jupiter-like body! If your day has been lacking festive-themed exoplanet puns, then read my blog post that I wrote for the Planet Hunters blog. While you're at it, consider doing some classifications over at ngts.planethunters.org!

Waiting for my flight to Cape Town for similar @saao to observe @NextGenTransits targets inc some from @PH_NGTS !

Great fun doing an outreach talk for the IAA this evening, representing @AstroQUB. I showed how we find exoplanets and ways that anyone can get involved through @planethunters and @PH_NGTS. @AstronoMoore gave a great talk on supernovae discovery and braved a live demonstration!

@PH_NGTS has some very exciting news to share! We have 4 potential planet candidates from an initial search with potentially many more to find! blog.planethunters.org/2022/…

After a hard day being an academic (meetings, supervising research students, marking…) I get to spend all night running a telescope @SAAO South Africa observing a possible transiting exoplanet identified by our @PH_NGTS citizen scientists in @NextGenTransits data
Wow!

We’re thrilled to be selected to be part of Grants; Great Leaving Challenge: The goal is to collect 100,000 new classifications for the four Featured Projects on @the_zooniverse homepage.

Computers are amazing, but sometimes they do something unexpected. In this blog post, @seanobrien_99 explains the reason you sometimes find a W-shaped transit on Planet Hunters NGTS (@PH_NGTS). blog.planethunters.org/2022/…

This is yor chance to look at fresh data from our telescopes and find other worlds! #iwanttobelieve #thetruthisoutthere
We’re nearly done with the archival data. We have new data hot off the telescopes ready to go, once we finish the last of the archival data ngts.planethunters.org

Want to know how to spot the difference between U and V shaped transits in the ngts.planethunters.org search? Check out this blog post from @seanobrien_99 and the @PH_NGTS team to learn more! blog.planethunters.org/2021/…
Well that’s an incentive to keep on classifying on ngts.planethunters.org
Send me any juicy targets that immediately stand out - we have a week on the @saao Lesedi 1m starting weds for new light curves of @NextGenTransits planet candidates including @PH_NGTS !
"If you ever wanted to help find new planets, now’s your chance” - Great write up about us in Ars Technica arstechnica.com/science/2021…
Over 190,000 classifications on the site. The team is blown away! Keep the clicks coming! ngts.planethunters.org
146,413 classifications in less than 2 days. We’ve been blown away by the response to our project. Thanks for all the help! Keep those clicks coming!
