Anthropic says Johns Hopkins astrophysicist Brice Ménard used Claude Science to create the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky, filling in regions that space telescopes had never directly observed. NASA’s GALEX mission mapped roughly two thirds of the sky in ultraviolet light. Claude helped coordinate AI agents that gathered and calibrated tens of thousands of observations from multiple telescopes, then used existing visible, infrared and radio data to predict the missing UV measurements. Those estimates reportedly came within roughly 10% of actual readings, and Gaia data helped extend UV estimates to more than 100 million stars. The completed map revealed dust clouds, giant rings from stellar explosions and faint structures across the Milky Way. MacroSift Perspective: This is another example of AI becoming a research multiplier. The value is not simply automating analysis. It is turning scattered, incomplete scientific data into something researchers can actually use. As age...
