A team of astronomers needs your help in the search for alien life, and they're offering some pretty cool alien planet swaps in return.

The Planet Foundation is building a telescope that can search for life outside the solar system, and the foundation has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund its efforts.

Donors to the campaign will receive a unique, laser-engraved, three-dimensional glass map of an exoplanet, called an exocube.

and ExoCube, the campaign provided 25 different types of mineral balls that represent potentially habitable planets, including Near B and TrAPSTIS-1F.

Added LED lights cycle through a range of colors, adding to the sculpture's flair while illuminating the details within the sculpture.

[10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life] The Kickstarter campaign ends on Monday (May 22), so grab your exocube while you still can.

But don’t worry if you miss an opportunity now.

Campaign member Kevin Lewis told Space Magazine that there will be similar kickers in the future.

"We are currently working on new incarnations of the ExoCube, as well as creating entirely new astronomy and exoplanet-related products," he said.

The results of this event will help The Planet Foundation develop new technologies to search for extraterrestrial life, including the new Planetary (Polarized Light from the Atmospheres of nearby Extraterrestrial Systems) telescope currently under construction on the Haleakala volcano on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

Designed specifically to search for life beyond our solar system, the Planetary Telescope will examine exoplanet atmospheres and biosignatures—chemicals or compounds that life might produce, such as oxygen, water, and methane.

The telescope is scheduled to be completed in 2019, with construction costs totaling $4 million.

The group has raised $3.5 million through research grants so far, Lewis said, and the remaining $500,000 "will likely come in the form of additional research grants plus public support like Kickstarter."

This Kickstarter was a huge success, surpassing its $20,000 goal by $15,000 more (and counting).
