Claude-assisted search may have found a new exoplanet in NASA telescope data

A user says they may have found a previously unknown planet in NASA telescope data. Another post says the user searched seven years of data with Claude and describes a star 116 light-years away dimming every three days; it claims NASA’s telescope will check in November 2026. Separately, a post speculates that advances in AI research could feed a self-reinforcing loop extending to other fields, including materials science.
