Black Hole Hunters @BlackHoleHunter
We’re back! 🎉 We have new data, a (slightly) different name, and more chance than ever of finding the elusive, hidden black holes that we’re looking for.

Black Hole Hunting can be more efficient if it is a global community. Not many doing their own thing.

 
I got an email from Zooniverse about your Black Hole project. But, there, it jumps in and says “start classifying”. Without really explaining and sharing what has been found and what it is about. Your Twitter is annnouncements and events. You said, “We know there should be a huge number of black holes out there.”
 
I might be able to help look for new ways to find them, but you did not share in a way that makes that easy.
 
I really do not want to have to survey (“black holes” “lensing”) with its 406,000 entry points
 
or ((“black holes” filetype:pdf ) with 1.06 Million entry points
 
or (“black hole” OR “black holes”) (“hunting” OR “hunters” OR “surveys”) with 16 Million entry points.
 
I can. I just do not want to have to, if it is your job.
