• Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used for the analysis of Earth observation data in a growing range of applications including wild fire detection and environmental and climate change monitoring.
• Software onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made it possible to apply a range of processing techniques to remove noise from images of remote galaxies studied astronomers.
• Still in its infancy in the field of astronomy, AI is now being used by researchers to expedite the processing of space data to detect particular phenomena, most recently by a team from Princeton keen to identify blobs of plasma known as plasmoids.
