I'd love to see more data on K type stars. It's probably the most interesting type out there to me and as far as I am aware, we don't have much planetary data from that type.

Projects like PlanetHunters really show the importance of citizen science, even in the age of AI. You reading this could be the next to make an important discovery so I encourage everyone to participate in these crowdsourced projects.
