NASA Launches 'Planet Patrol' Website For Volunteers To Help Hunt For New Worlds

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- You don't have to be a scientist to help discover new planets. NASA has launched a new website called Planet Patrol.

They hope volunteers will collaborate with astronomers to hunt for new worlds.

Members of the public are asked to help scientists sort through hundreds of snapshots.

The volunteers will answer questionnaires as they shift through images to help researchers narrow down the list of potential planets.
