We’re on the Zooniverse platform, looking at Eclipsing Binary star candidates! https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/vbkostov/eclipsing-binary-patrol
@cosmosbg.bsky.social also noticed periodic dips, suggesting a potential new eclipsing binary candidate.
As our teammate Marco says, maybe there are space kittens out there! 🐈

Thank you to everyone who continued classifying over the holidays. You identified a fascinating candidate: a possible new eclipsing binary—maybe even a heartbeat star! Here’s to a year with yet more discoveries! 🚀

A great example of why we need YOUR help to check the data! Look closely at the light curve, and you’ll spot small regular eclipses just right of the green bands. This is an EB with synchronized baseline modulations and the period needs recalculating
