If we lowly mortals use the Artificial Intelligence (AI) for various day-to-day tasks, imagine those who need precise calculations and apply extremely complex mathematical formulas? This is the case for astronomers.
To give you an idea, NASA has been improving a chatbot system similar to our already known ChatGPT for the Lunar Gateway station. The idea is to detect and correct problems, in addition to communicating with astronauts.

But does not stop there. A astronomy uses AI a lot to carry out increasingly precise work and obtain correct information about the universe.
Are you curious? Continue reading and find out more!
1. map the universe
We still don't have the slightest idea of the size of the universe. However, some AI algorithms are helping astronauts map it, through patterns in data about celestial bodies and galaxies.
This technology is also capable of identifying and listing properties of stars and planets. Cool huh?
2. control robots
In expeditions, such as those carried out on Mars, robots are used to map the region and send information to astronomers on Earth.
Many of these devices are equipped with AI capable of providing them with sufficient autonomy to avoid obstacles and analyze the collected data.
3. move satellites
With AI algorithms, satellites are now more efficient, agile and intelligent. This technology makes it possible for space objects to move alone in outer space, avoiding collisions.

4. predict maintenance
Companies like NASA and SpaceX also use Artificial Intelligence to try to “predict” the maintenance of their robots, rockets and other machines.
It uses data to identify areas of the object that potentially need a screw tightening at some point. With this, scientists are able to carry out preventive maintenance, instead of “seeing stars”.
5. Make geoastronomical classifications
By applying a large volume of data, an AI is able not only to identify rock formations in space, but also to classify them according to certain patterns. For this, she takes advantage of geological aspects, such as craters and volcanoes.
6. Streamline analyzes
A job that an astronomer would take days or weeks to complete, an AI can complete in minutes. This is the case with data analysis.
Furthermore, AI manages to do it more accurately and even more efficiently.
