Category: other

Tags: astronomy, exoplanets, data-analysis, reproducibility, static-site

Score: 4.8/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 7, Utility: 3)

Planethunt is a public, inspectable record of archival transit searches that reports a Kepler planet candidate (KIC 5689121) using AI-assisted analysis, with extensive evidence, reproducibility scripts, and a static website. While the project demonstrates careful documentation and validation attempts, the candidate remains unconfirmed, and the technical implementation mostly involves data processing and site generation rather than novel algorithms.

Target audience: astronomers, data scientists, citizen scientists
