Artificial Intelligence (AI) has once again revolutionized the way we discover celestial bodies beyond our solar system. Researchers from the University of Georgia have recently discovered a new exoplanet with the help of AI technology. This significant breakthrough has expanded the already extensive collection of over 5,000 exoplanets identified beyond our solar system. It has also upscaled the potential use and role of AI in Astronomy.
According to a report in India Today, Jason Terry, a doctoral student at the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, said, “This newly-discovered planet increases the already extensive collection of over 5,000 exoplanets identified beyond our solar system.” The gargantuan planet orbits 75 astronomical units (AU) from its star, which has evaded astronomers’ attempts to identify any planets around it until now.
This discovery is significant as it highlights the capabilities of AI in identifying celestial bodies that are otherwise difficult to detect. With over 5,000 known exoplanets, the hunt for new planets beyond our solar system is intensifying. As technology and techniques improve, astronomers are uncovering harder-to-detect planets.

Two recent papers published in The Astrophysical Journal reveal how researchers have employed machine learning to identify the faint signs of forming planets within the dense dust disks that envelop young stars. This AI tool can significantly enhance the speed and efficiency of discovering young planets, particularly as new telescopes deliver a deluge of data on Milky Way exoplanets.
Researchers have stated that machine learning and AI have revealed new processes that underline the evolution and formation of planetary systems. With the use of AI, astronomers can now detect planets that were previously undetectable through conventional methods.
The discovery of this new exoplanet showcases the impact of AI on astronomy and space exploration. The ability to detect celestial bodies that were previously undetectable expands our knowledge of the universe and its formation.
AI has also significantly enhanced the speed and efficiency of planet discovery, allowing astronomers to collect data at a much faster rate. With the increasing amount of data available, AI is becoming an essential tool in processing and analyzing information.
According to the researchers, the use of AI in astronomy will continue to evolve and become more sophisticated. It has the potential to reveal new insights and discoveries about our universe that were once impossible to detect.
