Dutch researchers are calling on web users the world over to help them find new black holes in space. All you have to do is download an app and open it for a few minutes each day.

The “Black Hole Finder” initiative takes the form of an app proposed by the Dutch Black Hole Consortium (DBHC), so that anyone can take part in the search for new black holes. Users, referred to here as “citizen scientists”, can now actively participate in the elaboration of an algorithm dedicated to identifying the formation of black holes in the universe.
