This type of AI was used to find about 5,000 potential gravitational lenses , which needed to be confirmed . Using spectroscopy for confirmation , the international team has now determined the technique has a

The outer arm of the spiral in this huge , oddly shaped stellar nursery â called NGC 346 â may be feeding star formation in a river-like motion of gas and stars . This is an efficient way to fuel star birth , researchers . say Posted on September 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 by Allen Versfeld Stars Spiral Inward to the Cores of Stellar Nurseries Astronomers studying a stellar cluster within the Small Magellanic Cloud SMC have found young stars spiraling in towards the center of the cluster .
