Main Sequence and White Dwarf Binaries are Hiding in Plain Sight
Some binary stars are unusual. They contain a main sequence star like our Sun, while the other is a "dead"…
Artemis III Landing Sites Identified Using Mapping and Algorithm Techniques
Where would be the most ideal landing site for the Artemis III crew in SpaceX’s Human Landing System (HLS)? This…
Fast-Tracking the Search for Habitable Worlds
Modern astronomy would struggle without AI and machine learning (ML), which have become indispensable tools. They alone have the capability…
A New Deep Learning Algorithm Can Find Earth 2.0
How can machine learning help astronomers find Earth-like exoplanets? This is what a recently accepted study to Astronomy & Astrophysics…
What Can AI Learn About the Universe?
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have become ubiquitous, with applications ranging from data analysis, cybersecurity, pharmaceutical development, music composition, and…
Black Holes Need Refreshing Cold Gas to Keep Growing
How were supermassive black holes able to grow so rapidly in the early Universe? Galactic mergers were believed to be…
Vera Rubin Will Help Us Find the Weird and Wonderful Things Happening in the Solar System
The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) is something special among telescopes. It's not built for better angular resolution and increased resolving…
Machine Learning Could Find all the Martian Caves We Could Ever Want
The surface of Mars is hostile and unforgiving. But put a few meters of regolith between you and the Martian…
Machine Learning Algorithms Can Find Anomalous Needles in Cosmic Haystacks
The face of astronomy is changing. Though narrow-field point-and-shoot astronomy still matters (JWST anyone?), large wide-field surveys promise to be…
The Most Compelling Places to Search for Life Will Look Like “Anomalies”
A new study considers how future astrobiology studies could search for life "as we don't know it" on exoplanets.
