NASA has announced the discovery of a planetary system around star K2-138. The discovery was the first of its kind, being made by citizen scientists using data from the K2 mission as part of the Zooniverse Exoplanet Explorers effort. This detection is the first multi-planet system discovered exclusively by crowdsourcing – the practice of obtaining services and/or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, especially from the public, online community.
