ALT Text that reads: “Want to be part of an innovative project? Want to study exoplanets as a professional astronomer? Want to know more about modern techniques in astronomy research? Want to contribute to real scientific research and learn about exoplanet science? Join our team and discover the exciting science behind exoplanets In order to increase participation in our project and exoplanet science, we would like to give the opportunity to observe exoplanet transits to people that don’t have a telescope. This initiative is supported by the Las Cumbres Observatory through the LCO Global Sky Partners program. To participate, you don’t need to have any previous experience at all! Participate to ExoClock by using remote telescopes. Perform an observation of an exoplanet transit with the support of the ExoClock team. Analyse the data with user-friendly tools with the guidance of the ExoClock team. Become a co-author in our publication after successful completeness of the project.”

ALT Image has a mostly dark background and at the center is a dark orange brownish circle, surrounded by several blazing bright, thick, horizontal whiteish rings. This is Saturn and its rings. There are three tiny orange dots in the image — one to the upper left of the planet, one to the direct left of the planet, and the lower left of the planet. They are the moons Dione, Enceladus, and Tethys.
