The MEarth Project (MEarth) is an automated survey monitoring nearby red dwarfs for transients, designed to spot transiting planets. Observations are carried out at two sites: MEarth-North, at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (FLWO) in Mt. Hopkins, Arizona, and MEarth-South, at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. Each uses eight off-the-shelf 40-cm telescopes with cameras.
