Google's artificial intelligence finds two new exoplanets missed by human eyes

Two new exoplanets have been discovered thanks to NASA's collaboration with Google's artificial intelligence (AI). One of those in today's announcement is an eighth planet – Kepler-90i – found orbiting the Sun-like star Kepler-90. This makes it the first system discovered with an equal number of planets to our own Solar system. The new exoplanets are added to the growing list of known worlds found orbiting other stars. This new Solar system rival provides evidence that a similar process occurred within Kepler-90 that formed our very own planetary neighbourhood: small terrestrial worlds close to the host star, and larger gassy planets further away.
