An Artificial Intelligence Just Found 56 New Gravitational Lenses

Gravitational lenses are an important tool for astronomers seeking to study the most distant objects in the Universe. This technique involves using a massive cluster of matter (usually a galaxy or cluster) between a distant light source and an observer to better see light coming from that source. In an effect that was predicted by Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, this allows astronomers to see objects that might otherwise be obscured.

AI can be applied to looking for anything in the frequency spectrum across both the Southern and Northern hemispheres, if all that data in real time could be evaluated by AI, that would really speed things up.

Sorry. I thought you meant something else, which you already knew.

Yes 56 seems small.

I guess it depends on area of sky and how many instruments are covering the whole sky.

Were they looking at data from the whole sky or just part of it?
