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