๐ AI just discovered 10,000+ planet candidates at once โ the biggest exoplanet haul ever
An international team of astronomers using AI tools to scan telescope data found more than 10,000 planet candidates in a single sweep โ the largest cache of alien worlds ever uncovered at one time. The haul ranges from enormous Hot Jupiters in tight star-hugging orbits to smaller super-Earths that traditional detection methods had missed entirely. With the Roman Space Telescope launching this month and expected to spot 100,000 more, the pace of exoplanet discovery is entering a completely different era. How long before we have a confirmed list of potentially habitable worlds to actually aim for?
