A research team from the Open University and the University of Southampton is asking for the public's help to find some of the most mysterious, elusive objects in the universe—black holes. By examining data from the SuperWASP survey, the UK's leading extra-solar planet detection program, the team hope to detect changes in starlight that may provide evidence for the existence of these black holes.
