Help Refine Data from Space Telescopes with Artifact InSPECtor
NASA has launched the Artifact InSPECtor project, which recruits volunteers to help train AI to identify and remove errors in space telescope data.
Why it matters
Improving AI accuracy in filtering telescope data helps scientists more effectively study the expansion of the universe and dark energy.
The details
- Artifacts can result from cosmic rays or light glinting off telescope housing. - The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to begin science operations in early 2027. - The project is open to participants of all ages via digital devices.
What's next
Volunteers will begin analyzing data from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in early 2027.
