GOOGLE AND NASA : FIND TWO NEW PLANETS
Kepler 80g and Kepler 90i were discovered in Kepler -90 system
Through machine learning, University of Texas at Austin and Google together used the data from NASA. to reach this conclusion
The data are collected from Kepler telescope , that was launched by NASA in 2009 as part of planet finding mission
Kepler 90i , is the eighth planet of the system and is a rocky mass 30% larger than earth
Other than earth, eight planet network system is the one which is found for the first time
By analyzing thousands of data points of planets through software leads to achieving 96 % accuracy.
The software neural network studied data from about 670 stars .
According to Jessie Dotson, NAZA scientist for the Kepler telescope " As the applications of neural networks to Kepler data matures ,who knows what might be discovered" " I am on the edge of my seat"
Machine learning is the process by which feeding of data into the computer programs that can process data through information faster than human possibilities
Kepler telescope is expected to run only up to 2019 , due to lack of fuel
