NASA confirms another 301 exoplanets

The new discoveries bring the total of validated exoplanets to 4,569

NASA scientists have discovered another 301 exoplanets — those outside the solar system.

The new discoveries bring the total of validated exoplanets to 4,569 since the discovery of the first ones in the mid-1990s.

NASA said Monday that the discoveries can be attributed to a new network called ExoMiner, which leverages NASA’s Supercomputer, Pleiades, and can distinguish real exoplanets from different types of impostors, or “false positives.”

Deep neural networks are machine-learning methods that automatically learn a task when provided with enough data.
