Just when we thought AI couldn't be better, it just got even better. AI just discovered a planet outside solar system.

Everybody is still awestruck by the capability of AI. Ever since dall e was announced last year, the AI has been dominating internet in every department. There are people who are genuinely scared of being replaced in their job by AI. After the dominance of AI in content creations and just when we thought there's going to be a break in its trend, now AI proved once again that it's not going to slow down its trend.

AI has taken its first step into the world of astronomy. Researchers from the University of Georgia identified and confirmed a new planet outside the solar system using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Students at UGA franklin college of arts and science have provided set of data which was previously analysed by various astronomers. To their surprise, the AI found a new exoplanet within hours going through the data which astronomers couldn't find within matter of hours. Not only did the AI found the planet , it also predicted its exact location which is around a star called HD 142666.

Initially nobody could believe that AI found a planet with solid proof until they crosschecked and confirmed the presence of planet. Now the planet is added into the list of over 5000 exoplanets found outside the solar system.

“This is an incredibly exciting proof of concept. We knew from our previous work that we could use machine learning to find known forming exoplanets. Now, we know for sure that we can use it to make brand new discoveries,”
--Cassandra Hall, principal investigator of the Exoplanet and Planet Formation Research Group at UGA .ref

I don't know whats more surprising, finding a planet in matter of hours or pinpointing its exact position in the vast space.

Hope you learned something new.
Thank you!!!
