AI Discovers 118 New Exoplanets Using NASA TESS Data

A new AI system, RAVEN, is transforming how scientists discover exoplanets. Using four years of NASA TESS data, researchers confirmed 118 planets and flagged thousands more candidates with high precision.

By filtering out stellar noise, this approach improves our understanding of short-period planets and rare regions like the “Neptunian desert,” marking a major step toward automated, large-scale mapping of planetary systems.
