AI Delivers 1,300 Cosmic Anomalies From Hubble Archive
TL;DR Summary
Astronomers using the AnomalyMatch AI tool scanned nearly 100 million Hubble image cutouts from about 35 years of data, uncovering around 1,300 anomalies, with more than 800 previously undocumented. The majority are merging/interacting galaxies; the search also flagged 86 new gravitational lens candidates and rare objects like jellyfish galaxies, demonstrating AI's power to extract discoveries from the data deluge of current and future observatories.
