The competition, based on the European Space Agency\u2019s Ariel space mission and featured at the NeurIPS 2024 machine learning conference, will tackle one of astronomy’s most complex and important data analysis problems<\/a>\u2014extracting faint exoplanet signals from noisy space telescope observations.<\/p>\n It offers participants a unique chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of exoplanet atmospheres, with a prize pool of $50,000 USD.<\/p>\n Dr Caroline Harper, Head of Space Science, UK Space Agency, said: \u201cDistant planets are likely to be more numerous in our galaxy than the stars themselves.<\/p>\n \u201cThe techniques developed through this prestigious competition could help open new windows for us to learn about the composition of their atmospheres and even their weather.\u201d<\/p>\nThe atmospheres of distant planets are unique<\/h3>\n
