"In Black Hole Hunters, we're asking you to help us find some of the Milky Way galaxy's millions of missing black holes. Using data from the TESS satellite, we'd like you to look at graphs of how the brightness of stars changes over time, looking for an effect called gravitational microlensing. This lensing effect can indicate that a massive object passed in front of a star – its gravity bending and focusing the star's light – and we hope to use this to uncover the existence of otherwise invisible black holes."

"Come help us discover new asteroids!
The Catalina Sky Survey is a NASA-funded project dedicated to discovering and tracking near-Earth asteroids. Since 1998 we have discovered thousands of near-Earth asteroids and many more main-belt asteroids. We collect an enormous volume of image data. Although we have state-of-the-art cameras, detection software, and a small team of full-time professional observers, we lack capacity to identify and verify all objects of interest. We need your help! Join us to find the unreported main-belt and near-Earth asteroids that slip through the digital cracks of our detection system."
