AI finds 1,400 new cosmic anomalies in Hubble telescope archives

An AI has identified over 1,400 cosmic anomalies in Hubble telescope archives, with more than 800 being previously undocumented. Developed by ESA astronomers, the AI analyzed nearly 100 million images in just two and a half days, confirming rare galaxies, gravitational lenses, and protoplanetary disks. This AI-driven approach, combined with human expertise, accelerates the discovery of rare celestial objects and highlights the vast, untapped scientific potential within astronomical archives.
