The Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) is hunting for cosmic-ray ensembles from deep space in an effort to answer some of the fundamental questions about our Universe. You can directly contribute to this project in a variety of ways – one of which is this application.
By downloading and installing the app on your smart phone your personal particle detector will feed directly into this pioneering new area of scientific research. You can see your detection on your smart phone and on the CREDO website, you can also follow those of the many other people making up the world wide detector network.
You can also engage deeper, e.g. in the analysis of the detections that you, your fellow citizen scientists and professional observatories from around the world are making through the Private Particle Detective and Dark Universe Welcome interfaces.
You are welcome to join the worldwide sceintific collaboration today!
