AND WHAT?

Probably everyone has already learned that NASA has discovered several new planets. You may have a question: "AND WHAT? Well, there were exoplanets. Than this can be interesting."

How?

This story is interesting because these 8 (Yes, yes.As long as I write this article they found the eighth planet, before they were only 7) exoplanets were found with the help of that neural network. They were created by Google experts. But how did Google employees do this? They collected the data received by Kepler's telescope and analyzed them. It seems unimaginable, but they got this data by looking at the brightness of the stars at the moment when the planet passes before it. The neural network trained for 15 thousand signals!

New or not?

By the way, even before the creation of Google and even your mother, the same sensation was the discovery of two planets in the distant 18th century. It happened without neural networks and scientists of that century were able to get the exact coordinates of the planet with an error of only half a degree. Many already guessed that this planet was Neptune. A little later, Pluto was discovered in the same way. For their calculations, they used the law of universal gravitation and Newton's laws.

Well, OK

I brought this example to make you realize in what high-tech age we live. Opening the planets with a neural network was just the first step in a beautiful future.
