Dear Planet Hunters,
There's been plenty going on at planethunters.org!
The discovery paper for PH1b, a circumbinary planet in a four-star system and the project's first confirmed planet, has been officially accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. PH1b has been given an official Kepler designation of Kepler-64b and added to the list of planets in the Kepler field. You can read more about the paper and PH1b on our blog.
In other news: the site has been updated with fresh data which has never been seen before. These light curves have yet to be fully analysed by the NASA Kepler team, so there are likely to be unknown planets hiding in the data waiting to be discovered. Maybe you'll be the first to spot one!
Happy Hunting,
Meg and the Planet Hunters Team
