Good for him, Lori. I classified galaxies for the original Zoo project, but haven't yet had time to do anything for Planet Hunters.
People involved in Planet Hunters must be encouraged by two of their number discovering a new exoplanet. It's particularly interesting because it not only orbits a binary star, but there is an additional binary orbiting the three of them. The second binary, which was previously unknown, is about 1000 astronomical units away. In our Solar System that would put it out well beyond the Kuiper belt, part way to the Oort cloud.
I've written an article about
Citizen Science in the Electronic Age.
