- New Exoplanets Discovery – Google’s artificial neural network helped NASA discover two exoplanets, Kepler-90i and Kepler-80g, from two different solar systems
- Kepler-90i – Orbits star Kepler-90, which is 2,545 light years away from Earth, every 14.4 days and is inhabitable as surface temperatures average 800 degrees Fahrenheit, same with Mercury
- Kepler-80g – Sixth planet discovered orbiting star Kepler-80 and has similar size as Earth
- Machine Learning Capability – Trained neural network to identify exoplanets from 15,000 existing signals vetted by NASA from Kepler exoplanet catalogue, achieving 96% accuracy
- Next Step – Apply neural network to Kepler’s full set of more than 150,000 stars in search for more exoplanets
