Congratulations to UNISTELLAR and SETI Institute citizen astronomers for the confirmation of a warm Jupiter exoplanet! 🪐 In this study, soon to be published in the Astronomical Journal, observers with our Exoplanet Transits program teamed up with NASA Exoplanets Exoplanet Watch to capture the passing of this planet in front of its star and confirm its existence. This gas giant had previously only been a "planet candidate" seen by NASA's TESS mission, but thanks to citizen scientists, it is now an official planet. Thank you Astronomy magazine for this fantastic article! https://buff.ly/3XwOtgf "While the method relies on pure chance, TESS observes so many stars all across the sky that it has so far amassed over 7,000 candidate worlds. But because TESS is so busy trying to detect as many planets as possible, almost all of these detections rely on a single transit event: just one pass of the exoplanet in front of its star. The task of confirming the existence of the exoplanet is left to follow-up surveys with ground-based observatories, which is a tedious, difficult, and time-consuming job. This is where citizen scientists come to the rescue. Using a network of telescopes scattered across the globe, amateur astronomers can perform the necessary observations needed to turn a candidate exoplanet into a confirmed one. Recently, the Unistellar Network and Exoplanet Watch has confirmed a new exoplanet, TIC 393818343 b, which sits about 300 light-years away from Earth."

"The Odyssey Pro makes it easy to start viewing the cosmos, meaning you'll use this telescope night after night, as opposed to alternative options that sit in a closet untouched for years." Thanks AppleInsider for the 4.5/5 star review on the ODYSSEY PRO! And for talking to our Chief Science Officer Franck Marchis about it's versatility as not only "...an excellent platform for amateur astronomy, but [it's] also a robust scientific platform."

Unistellar's Chief Science Officer Franck Marchis visited the Maldives last week to attend the 2024 Space for Island Nations Conference! He shared not only Unistellar and SETI Institute #citizenscience, but views through the EVSCOPE2 as well, which brought the beautiful Maldivian skies to life for locals and attendees on the island of Kudafari. The SETI Institute and the Maldives Space Research Organisation (MSRO) will now collaborate on building a citizen science network in the Maldives using #Unistellar telescopes, helping more to observe our cosmos in meaningful ways ✨ Thanks #SINC2024!
