Astronomers discover over 800 cosmic anomalies using a new AI tool

Other discoveries included planet-forming disks viewed edge-on, galaxies with huge clumps of stars and jellyfish galaxies . Adding a bit of mystery, there were even several dozen objects that defied classification altogether. This is a fantastic use of AI to maximize the scientific output of the Hubble archive, Gómez is quoted as saying in the ESA's announcement. Finding so many anomalous objects in Hubble data, where you might expect many to have already been found, is a great result. It also shows how useful this tool will be for other large datasets.
