NASA’s deep neural network Exominer has confirmed the existence of 301 new exoplanets in the observable universe.
The list of worlds beyond our solar system is suddenly growing. To 4,569 extraterrestrials It contains a record from 1992, first discovered, others 301 Confirmed, First verified by NASA Artificial Intelligence Network ExoMiner.
ExoMiner Is a Red nervous system (An algorithm Mechanical learning It learns to do a task automatically when it has access to sufficient data) capable of distinguishing between real exoplanets and those phenomena, even if a priori appears, with false positives.
“Its design is based on experiments used by human experts to confirm new Exoplanets and to learn from confirmed Exoplanet data and false positive events.” In a statement from NASA.
Using a database, which contains all the information about potential candidates Kepler mission, ExoMiner Largely analyzed data sets, A task that is otherwise time consuming can sometimes yield incredible results.
The result was discovered 301 New Planets They have been promoted to planetary candidates by Kepler’s Office of Science; However, these worlds were not verified until ExoMiner’s analysis.
The method of verifying the existence of Exoplanet is rigorous and requires complex data analysis. Once observations are made by the Kepler Science Function Center, they acquire candidate status; However, a Final verification Accept as such:
‘An extraterrestrial is confirmed when different observation techniques are compatible in revealing characteristics that can only be explained by one planet. A planet is ‘verified’ using statistics, which means that according to the data it is possible or impossible for it to be a planet ”.
Although the Milky Way and other local galaxies are filled with billions of worlds of planetary systems, discover rocks and hot planets. Habitat zone With its main star and the ability to support life as we know it, it is an even more complex task.
So 301 new planets discovered by ExoMiner, There are no earth-like properties.
However, most of these worlds share similar properties with other cosmic environments, as well asHelps to better understand planets and solar systems Ours is more unique than ours, “said John Jenkins, an exoplanet scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center.
