AI helps complete the sky’s first ultraviolet portrait
Anthropic researcher and Johns Hopkins astrophysicist Brice Ménard used Claude Science to assemble the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky from decades of space-telescope data. AI agents handled painstaking calibration and filled unobserved regions with labeled predictions and uncertainty estimates, while the scientist guided and refined the work over several days.
A REASON TO SMILE
A beautiful, honest map—measured where possible and clearly predicted elsewhere—shows how AI can turn neglected scientific backlogs into shared tools for discovery.
