I don't found any post about Stardust@Home so I created a new thread.
Stardust@Home is a distributed search by volunteers for interstellar dust in the Stardust interstellar dust collector. Volunteers have to pre-register for an expected start in spring of 2006. You will also have to pass a test to be qualified for the search. Indeed, unlike the distributed computer projects running in background tasks, this project is using your eyes to scan "focus movies" thanks to a Virtual Microscope. ![]() According to estimations, there should be about 45 interstellar dust impacts in the collector. Besides the satisfaction of contributing actively to this sample return project, your name will appear as a co-author on the paper announcing the discovery of the particle. ![]() http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ Rakhir |

Hi Rob, welcome to UMSF!
![]() Calibration Movies Answered Correctly 471 Calibration Movies Answered Incorrectly 3 Your Overall Score: 468 Total Real Movies Viewed: 1230 Your Rank: 45 out of 5641 Specificity: 100% Sensitivity: 99% It seems to be a form of race ![]() ![]() ![]() Slowly I need a real feeling of success by finding a real (new) track instead of these calibration movies... I hope that's already a real search and not merely another screening of serious searchers... ![]() -------------------- |
