NASA's Kepler space telescope makes discovery using machine learning from Google

NASA will announce the discovery made by Kepler, which has been searching for alien worlds since 2009, on 14 December. NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler space telescope has made its latest discovery using machine learning from Google, the US space agency said. “The discovery was made by researchers using machine learning from Google,” NASA officials said. Kepler has gazed at more than 150,000 stars and continues to transmit back data that leads to important discoveries of celestial objects in our galaxy, including first-time observations of planets outside our solar system.
