I thought this was related to Sun, sorry I mean Oracle.

So I guess this is along the same lines of Folding@Home and SETI except
this one is looking for solar bursts rather than little green men or
whatever that Folding@Home one is for (can never remember, is it to find
a cure for viruses?).

Isn't Folding and SETI totally automated, i.e. they just need CPU power? It seems that the Stardust and Solar ones are looking for human processing time...
