NASA discovers more than 300 new planets thanks to Machine learning technology

With an operating system based on Machine learning technology, 301 new planets have been discovered by NASA.

The US Space Agency (NASA) recently discovered the existence of more than 300 new planets with the help of Machine learning technology - a technology developed from the field of artificial intelligence.

According to NASA's statement, scientists have discovered 301 new planets, bringing the total to 4,569 discovered planets.

It is known that most of the planets outside the Solar System discovered are within the Milky Way, within 3,000 light-years of Earth. Confirming the existence of these distant planets was made possible thanks to a system called ExoMiner, using NASA's Pleiades supercomputer and data from the Kepler telescope.

NASA said that the ExoMiner system has helped experts shorten the time to process a huge amount of data from the telescope to determine which is a new planet.

Previously, these planets had been discovered by the Kepler telescope, but scientists could not determine if they were new planets until the ExoMiner system was put into use.
