NGC 2775 is a distant galaxy whose unusual features challenge astronomers' ability to classify it, as it exhibits characteristics of both elliptical and spiral galaxies, possibly due to past galaxy mergers, and remains a subject of ongoing study.
Citizen scientists and AI have discovered 430,000 galaxies, including 30,000 rare ring galaxies, using data from the Subaru Telescope. The "GALAXY CRUISE" project involved 10,000 volunteers and AI to sift through the telescope's massive data. The AI classified 400,000 galaxies as spiral and 30,000 as ring galaxies, shedding light on the rare galaxy type's formation and demonstrating the power of AI in astronomical data analysis.
