Regina Miner, Alexys Bermudez, Conor Leigh, and Malia Swartz (mentored by Dr. J.D. Armstrong) completed a three day-long research project searching for an exoplanet transiting its star during the astronomy camp, HI STAR. The students plotted the light curves of stars in an image and determined which star was the one that hosted an orbiting planet.
