Using a powerful AI tool, astronomers have combed through vast troves of data from NASA's Hubble and found over 1,300 cosmic anomalies, more than 800 of which are new to science. "Archival observations from the Hubble Space Telescope now stretch back 35 years, providing a treasure trove of data in which astrophysical anomalies might be found," says O'Ryan. "Astronomical archives contain vast quantities of unexplored data that potentially harbour rare and scientifically valuable cosmic phenomena," the authors write. "This is a powerful demonstration of how AI can enhance the scientific return of archival datasets," Gómez said. "The discovery of so many previously undocumented anomalies in Hubble data underscores the tool's potential for future surveys."
