This AI just found 50 new planets in a huge NASA dataset

An algorithm has confirmed the existence of 50 new planets in a world-first for machine learning in astronomy. Scientists from Warwick University made the discovery by analyzing data collected by space telescopes, such as NASA's Kepler and TESS. This passage produces a distinctive dip in light emerging from the star. However, this effect can also be caused by a binary star system, interference from other objects, or problems with the camera. The new system was designed to separate these false positives from observations of real planets.
