Researchers from NASA and Google have discovered two new exoplanets, Kepler 90i and Kepler 80g, using artificial intelligence. The Kepler Space Telescope uses the transit method to detect planets by observing dips in a star's brightness. Machine learning has improved the detection of smaller planets that were previously missed. In addition, scientists are investigating Mars' water loss, attributing it to spongy rocks like basalt that trapped water in the planet's mantle. This research enhances our understanding of the universe and Mars' geological history.
