Re: SFDebris: Star Trek (2009)

(I've remembered to record it this time)

Re: A new random thread

Has it ever been suggested that we have a forum meet up in real life? Someplace in the UK (ie a pub back room that has wifi) where British & Irish members can meet and we could skype to our forum buddies from around the world all in one big happy family?

Re: Want to help find en exo panet?

Check the tutorials for help. It is well worth your time, imagine if you were one of the first humans to spot a possible extra solar planet. Does it not blow your mind a little bit?

Re: Fleets

I don't disagree but I just always had the idea that say the "10th fleet" existed but it was not ready for war. Like I said it was meant for border patrol but when it kicked off it became a battle group and all ships in its area of influence were called back. Maybe I'm not understanding wh...

Re: Fleets

With the DS9 Dom wars I just assumed it took a long time for the Fed to call back all their ships from quiet borders to bring the pre existing fleets up to full combat strength. As in the 10th fleet say had a X size of space to cover with Y ships but they were spread thin exploring and showing the f...

Re: Want to help find en exo panet?

Take your time, I think I was just lucky have a look at star 41001179 53208596 53047949 and you'll see the ones I spotted latest to get an idea & view the comments because others have seen what I saw. Remember its real data from the Kepler and unfortunately science doesn't work the way we want t...

Only if you're in a backwards lost empire that's still trying to pretend that the sun never sets on it.

Re: Want to help find en exo panet?

I gave it another try tonight and I've found 3 potential targets this time. Maybe my eye is getting better at spotting the patterns. Anyone else tried it?

Re: Want to help find en exo panet?

:) No idea but there is a section on their page that mentions the people who flagged possible planets, I was the second one to post on the data set (the bugger was about 5 mins before me) so its not going to be called DITL or anything like that :(

Want to help find en exo panet?

The website http://www.planethunters.org/ lets you look at data from the Kepler telscope and see if you can spot possible exo planets that have been missed by their software. Humans are better at spotting small patterns than the current software is so they're looking for help. The data is represente...
