Researchers at the Nevada Center for Astrophysics are using AI to measure the expansion of the universe, and they’re unlocking clues to how some distant planets form. They’re also inching closer to identifying what drives mysterious deep-space fast radio bursts. NASA’s ‘ultimate’ catalog of planets is also expanding thanks to UNLV astrophysicists who used data from NASA’s famed Kepler space telescope to help discover a seven planet system.
