AI Discovers Hundreds of Anomalies in Archive of Hubble Images
The universe is unfathomably vast, and for the astronomers trying to understand it, that means having to gather a commensurately mind-boggling amount of data. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was something that could help speed through looking for patterns in all the trillions of galaxies out there, and their quadrillions of stars? The term “AI” has become a catch-all these days for all kinds of dubious tech of varying degrees of automation and reli…
ESA's AI Discovers 1,300 Cosmic Anomalies in Hubble Archive in Just Days
Astronomers have long struggled with a cosmic haystack too large to search by hand, but the European Space Agency may have found a solution. Using an AI tool named AnomalyMatch, researchers scanned millions of images from the Hubble Legacy Archive in just two and a half days, identifying over 1,300 anomalies, more than 800 of which had never been documented. The discovery marks a major breakthrough in how scientists search for rare objects in th…
A wealth of data from 100 million images was too large for humans alone. An artificial intelligence now discovers hundreds of cosmic anomalies. Among them are structures reminiscent of jellyfish or hamburgers - and some that pose puzzles to researchers.
Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured the public's imagination and accumulated a staggering amount of data. Astronomers have spent decades scrutinizing these images to understand the universe. Yet, it turns out that they had gone past a colossal treasure. In just two days of work, artificial intelligence comes [...]
