AI discovers 800 cosmic anomalies in Hubble Space Telescope archives, some defy classification

Researchers at the European Space Agency developed an AI tool called AnomalyMatch that scanned 35 years of Hubble Space Telescope data in just two and a half days. The neural network discovered more than 1,300 cosmic anomalies, including 800 never-before-documented objects. Among them were galaxy mergers, gravitational lenses, and dozens of objects that defy existing classification schemes entirely.
