More than 300 exoplanets added to list, thanks to a new deep learning method - Daily Mail

An additional 301 exoplanets have been confirmed, thanks to a new deep learning algorithm, NASA said. .

The significant addition to the ledger was made possible by the ExoMiner deep neural network, which was created using data from NASA's Kepler spacecraft and its follow-on, K2.

The newly confirmed planets, which orbit distant stars in the universe, brings the total of confirmed exoplanets to 4,870. .
