AI just found 800 cosmic anomalies in 35 years of Hubble images. The discoveries were sitting there the entire time.


60 hours of compute analyzed 100 million image cutouts and revealed gravitational lenses, galaxy mergers, and objects scientists can't classify yet. The implications extend beyond astronomy.


Every industry sits on decades of legacy data. Most of it was analyzed once with the tools available at the time, then stored.


Reanalyzing old data was always possible. It just wasn't worth the cost. Human attention had better places to go. AI changes the economics.


Every old dataset is potentially a new dataset.


The exponential is the multiplication of past human effort by current machine intelligence. Every archive becomes a new frontier.


AI allows you to see through the "data fog". To discover what's hidden in plain sight, in forgotten archives.


What's hiding in yours?
