Deep-CEE: The AI deep learning tool helping astronomers explore deep space

more »
Galaxy clusters are some of the most massive structures in the cosmos, but despite being millions of lightyears across, they can still be hard to spot. Researchers have turned to artificial intelligence for assistance in finding galaxy clusters, developing 'Deep-CEE' (Deep Learning for Galaxy Cluster Extraction and Evaluation), a novel deep learning technique to speed up the process of finding them.

Collision course: Amateur astronomers play a part in efforts to keep space safe

more »
Heavy traffic is commonplace on Earth but now congestion is becoming an increasing problem in space. With over 22,000 artificial satellites in orbit it is essential to keep track of their positions in order to avoid unexpected collisions. Amateur astronomers have been helping the Ministry of Defence explore what is possible using high-end consumer equipment to track objects in space.

Citizen scientists discover cyclical pattern of complexity in solar storms

more »
Citizen scientists have discovered that solar storms become more complex as the sun's 11-year activity cycle reaches its maximum -- a finding which could help forecasters predict which space weather events could have potentially devastating consequences for modern technologies at Earth.
