NASA looking for help with its Planet Patrol

NASA wants your help to help find new planets.

The agency launched a website called Planet Patrol.

That's where the public can sort through images collected by NASA’s survey satellite called Tess.

This satellite captures hundreds of thousands of images every year. Those are too many for NASA astronomers to examine.

Volunteers will answer questionnaires as they look through images to help researchers narrow down the list of potential planets.
