Science and technology, explained simply
Artificial intelligence was first used to detect and classify supernovae without human intervention. Scientists from the international team developed an AI tool called Bright Transient Survey Bot (BTSbot) using machine learning on more than 1.4 million images from nearly 16,000 sources. This new tool automates the process of detecting starbursts, improving speed and preventing errors, […]
Some stars say goodbye to life by burning up and exploding as supernovae, while others inflate and eject material before contracting and cooling. However, there are also those who face a more tragic fate – they are torn apart and devoured by a hungry black hole. Such an event happens only a few times every […]
One of the most famous and most effective space observatories, Hubble, began operations in 1990 and is still in operation (although it was designed for 15 years). Recently, the telescope made another discovery. The farthest star has detected. Now her name is Earendel. It existed for the first billion years after the birth of the […]
