Pushing the limits of deep space exploration: Chinese scientists use astronomical AI models to create an "ultimate deep space map"

Our country's scientists have developed an astronomy AI model "Xing Yan" based on computational optical principles and artificial intelligence algorithms, which can unlock faint astronomical signals, detect galaxies over 13 billion light-years away, and obtain the deepest known deep space images internationally. This achievement was published online in "Science" on the early morning of February 20th. Professor Dai Qionghai from the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, Associate Professor Cai Zheng from the Department of Astronomy, and Associate Professor Wu Jiamin from the Department of Automation led the team to independently develop the Xing Yan model, which can decode massive data from space telescopes and is compatible with multiple detection devices, potentially becoming a universal deep space data enhancement platform.
