Google neural network helps discover two new exoplanets by scrutinizing Kepler data

[gary]

In a widely published story today (https://www.itnews.com.au/news/nasa-google-use-neural-network-to-find-new-planets-479890), NASA and Google have used a neural
network developed at Google to crunch through data from the Kepler space
telescope and in the process discovered two new exoplanets.
