THE 4001 PROJECT

Exoplanets. The 4001 Project is a community-driven universe, which utilizes specific data from NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program in order to randomly generate undetected exoplanets... One of my childhood dreams was the possibility of getting a glimpse beyond our solar system. We are the first generation to know, with certainty, that exoplanets really exist. There are places beyond our imagination. Terrestrial exoplanets, for example, are at a very special distance from their star. This spot is called the habitable zone, where life might be possible. If a planet is just at the right temperature, it could contain liquid water, and then there could be life. As technology advances at a rapid pace, more and more exoplanets are being discovered exponentially. The 4001 project is a small sample of the universe, and the possibilities are infinite, far beyond our imagination. I wondered if it was possible to generate candidates based on real known information, so with my dev team, we began..
