An Overview of Exoplanet Watch

Dr. Rob Zellem, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, will present an overview of Exoplanet Watch. This citizen science project allows folks, even those without telescopes, to aid researchers in observing transiting exoplanets to help ensure the efficient use of NASA resources, like Hubble and JWST. He’ll also give a workshop demonstration of their data reduction code, EXOTIC, on the Google Colab.
