find new planets by detecting dips in light of stars when planets transits. maybe you will find a cool planet in the process. with data from kepler.
heres a link to planet hunters: http://www.planethunters.org/
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
its very simple. when you enter the website there is a tutorial that teaches you how to detect the dips clearer than i would explain.
of course i have seen dips in light but one can not be sure if its a planet.
