Cool discovery, but I'd be real curious about the false-positive rate when letting coding agents loose on raw astronomical telemetry. Hallucinations in data reduction are no joke.
Oh don't worry, after claude democratises astronomy the false positives will be cleaned up by the real astronomers. As seen in math and open-source development.
This will be the first time I've had anything in common with a mathematician btw -- wading through heaps of claudeism-infested slop all day long.
Call me when peer review confirms it; until then, it is noise fitting noise. (Reason: Clean cut through the hype directly to scientific validation.)

From the discussion:
> even got NASA to point a telescope at it for confirmation

This is incredible use of AI tools. Big kudos!
Found a planet and saved a granny. Wake me up when this planet is acknowledged by any astonomer community with more say than r/ClaudeAI.
Planet Claude?
Asking for a friend.
Claire maybe?
Hope not.
So much AI in the writing. If you dont care to write i do not care to read.
