Using the CCDs on Androids or iPhones to detect cosmic rays, and in the process making the world's largest cosmic ray telescope (see http://www.auger.org http://www.auger.org for the most similar big physics project). Unfortunately, this project has been dead for awhile now.
- geuis 16y agoThis is an absolutely fascinating idea. Why have you stopped working on it? I know that astronomy fans are a small subset of HN readers, but this is the most interesting project I've heard of in a while.
- argon 16y agoThanks! I just had too much on my plate at the time, and the hobby project got cut first. If you'd like to help with it, all the source is here: http://github.com/cloudchamber/Distributed-Observatory/ http://github.com/cloudchamber/Distributed-Observatory/
