Astronomers Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Unlock the Secrets of Black Holes
A neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes has found that the one at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, likely rotates at maximum speed.
Recently, an international team of astronomers successfully trained a neural network with millions of black hole simulations to allow it to interpret fuzzy data captured from these enigmatic space objects in real life. The new neural network, trained by experts at the Morgridge Research Institute in Wisconsin, aims to tap into that sea of data to improve the resolution of the EHT’s readings and make new discoveries. According to a press release from the institute, the artificial intelligence successfully analyzed the once-discarded information and established new parameters of Sagittarius A*, which sits at the center of the Milky Way.
