🔥 What happened Astrophysicist Brice Ménard used Claude Science to build the first complete UV map of the sky. A swarm of AI agents scraped GALEX and other telescope data, cross-calibrated it, and inpainted the missing third of the sky. 💡 Why it matters Until now, roughly 33% of the sky had zero UV coverage – GALEX deliberately skipped the Milky Way's plane to protect its detectors. Claude fused visible, infrared, and radio data to statistically fill the gaps. Work that once took weeks of pixel-level calibration now runs autonomously. ⚡ Our take This is the real AI breakthrough: not chatbots, but research nobody had time to prioritize for decades. Anyone still calling AI a productivity gimmick hasn't grasped the scale.
