- NASA has discovered eighth planet circling Kepler-90 a Sun-like star which is 2545 light-years far from Earth known as Kepler-90i
- The planet Kepler-90i, is a small rocky planet, which orbits so close to its star that the surface temperature is a ‘scorchingly hot’ 800F (426C). It orbits its own sun once every 14 days.
- With eight planets, Kepler-90 system equals our own solar system in terms of number of planets orbiting single star. Kepler-90 star system is like a mini version of our solar system.
- The eight planet was discovered by Researchers Christopher Shallue and Andrew Vanderburg by applying Google’s machine-learning technology to data collected by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope.
- Machine learning is an approach towards artificial intelligence (AI). In this case of planetary exploration, machine-learning approach was based on networks of neurons that populate human brain.
