September 18, 2024 • by Joanne Foote

Stella Offner and Arya Farahi are among the leads of a new multi-institution institute focused on AI and astronomy.

Four quadrants of scientific-images come together, with webs showing bright spots for star formation, galaxy clustering, identifications of galaxies that are labeled and a futuristic network.

CosmicAI researchers will apply artificial intelligence to large datasets to better understand dark matter, galaxies, star formation and other mysteries of the cosmos.
