Summary:
- Researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and discovered over 100 new exoplanets, or planets orbiting other stars.
- TESS is a space telescope that searches for exoplanets by looking for the tiny dips in brightness of stars when a planet passes in front of them, a process called the transit method.
- The AI algorithm was able to sift through the TESS data more efficiently than human researchers, leading to the identification of these new exoplanets, which will help scientists better understand the diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy.
