An exoplanet in a binary star system has been found by a team of astronomers working with citizen scientists.
Citizen scientists have spotted a truly remarkable planet in a binary system's habitable zone. They gave a Harry Potter-inspired nickname.
"This planet is remarkable in many aspects," astrophysicist Nora Eisner said. "It's remarkable in its orbit, it's remarkable for being in the habitable zone."
Machine learning trained with data labeled by citizen scientists proved useful for detecting planets in data from the TESS mission.
