The MMO EVE Online is currently running the second iteration of their Project Discovery citizen science project. Project Discovery Exoplanets (PDE) involves luminance traces measured over a period of about a month by a European Space Agency satellite. EVE players are given the opportunity to examine these traces for signs of planetary occlusion of stars, indicated by one or more "dip" signatures in a trace.

This work-in-progress tool attempts to give a rough simulation of these traces, and to test various DSP techniques for making the dips more visible. Perhaps the entire process can be automated to give more reliable and objective results, eliminating the need for "citizen scientists".

The project is pure Python 3, and is believed to be cross-platform.

As of now, luminance traces are being generated and displayed as a graph similar to (but more sophisticated than) the one provided in PDE.
