Humans are pretty good at seeing these dips, but its a skill that takes time to develop.
This is where AI comes in.
Gravitational wave detector collaborationsLigoandVirgohave identified the signals of dozens of these events, all with the help ofmachine learning.
One terabyte is 8,000,000,000,000 bits.
Machine learning techniques will be used to search these next-generation surveys and highlight the important data.
So how can we find the rarest objects in these swathes of data?
One celestial phenomenon that excites many astronomers isstrong gravitational lenses.
The blue ring is light from a more distant galaxy, distorted by the red galaxy at the centre.
Its a search thats only going to get harder as we collect more and more images of galaxies.
As we peer deeper into the universe, astronomers research will increasingly rely on machine-learning techniques.
