AI Discovers 31 Concealed Planets in NASA Data — Within Just Months - video Dailymotion

Buzzline

An artificial intelligence system known as RAVEN, utilized on data from NASA's TESS satellite, has validated the existence of over 100 exoplanets — including 31 newly identified worlds. These findings feature rare ultra-short-period planets and planets located in the Neptunian Desert, a region previously believed to be devoid of such bodies. Research led by the University of Warwick highlights how AI is propelling astronomical discoveries at an unmatched pace.

00:00Astronomers just made one of the biggest planet halls in years, and they did it with artificial intelligence.

00:05A new AI system called RAVEN, working through NASA's test mission data, has confirmed more than 100 exoplanets, including 31

00:14brand-new worlds never seen before.

00:16It also flagged thousands more planet candidates for future study.

00:20Among the discoveries, rare ultra-short-period planets that whip around their stars in less than a day,

00:42Until now, sorting that data was painfully slow.

00:45RAVEN does the work in a fraction of the time, and corrects for hidden biases that had been masking smaller
