Researchers using an innovative astrodynamics algorithm have uncovered over 100 asteroids that had gone undetected in archived images of the sky. Asteroids are rocky objects left over from the ...

For the first time, astronomers have used a machine learning algorithm – a form of self-teaching AI – to confirm the existence of exoplanets in data collected by the now-retired Kepler space telescope ...

Researchers in China have improved the accuracy of detecting space junk in orbit around the earth. The goal of the project is to allow more effective plotting of safe routes for spacecraft maneuvers.

A relatively new algorithm designed to discover asteroids has spotted its first space rock—a 600-foot-long asteroid classified as potentially hazardous (don't worry, it's not going to smash into Earth ...
