Claude Science agents help build first complete all-sky UV map

AI summary

Anthropic said in an Oct. 8 post that Claude Science helped Johns Hopkins astrophysicist Brice Ménard produce the first complete all-sky ultraviolet map, with no gaps; roughly one third of the sky, including much of the galactic plane, was never observed in UV and was estimated by the model. The team merged public data from about 38,000 NASA GALEX observations plus NASA Swift and South Korea's FIMS/SPEAR, while Claude coordinated multiple agents to gather, rescale, cross-calibrate and fill the data, then added UV brightness for about 119 million stars derived from ESA Gaia visible-light measurements. In tests where already-observed areas were masked and refilled, estimates differed from real measurements by about 10%; every pixel is labelled observed or predicted with an uncertainty estimate, though some commenters questioned calling a map one third estimated "complete".

In-depth insight

It is a concrete example of a frontier lab's agents taking over real scientific data wrangling, and it underscores that model-estimated regions must be labelled separately from observations.

NASA卫星绕着走了十年的银河,被Claude几天补齐了。 

刚刚,Anthropic公布了SI首张完整的紫外全天图,整片天空,一个洞都没留。 

紫外光下的整片天空,银心在正中。约三分之一的天区,包括大半条银河盘面,是Claude推算出来的 

这张图里有三分之一的天空,从来没有任何一台紫外望远镜看过。 

把这块空白补上的,是Claude。
