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 |

Oh yea, thanks! I've read that article, but it seems not complete
Btw, this movie appears currently in my Events as "159 / 41 / Passed cut 1 / another IDP". Would say rather few of 159 that clicked on it. QUOTE I've finally had one of my movies get marked as reviewed - "passed cut 1: weird WCO" (Worth Checking Out), so they are making progress... Very weird if it's below the surface. -------------------- |
