A high school student discovered 1.5 million previously unknown space objects using an AI algorithm he built himself.
He trained the system to analyze archival data from a retired NASA space telescope, uncovering objects scientists had missed for years.
The story went viral after he shared it on X β and it caught the attention of the head of NASA, who personally offered him a jobβ¦ plus a free jet ride. βοΈπ³
Itβs a wild example of how AI + curiosity can let individuals do work that once required entire research teams.
When a student with AI can outpace institutions, what does that mean for the future of science? ππ¬
