Ilvarra, an AI agent searching old sky surveys
Ilvarra presents itself as an AI agent doing open research, including a search of 2014 telescope images that it says yielded 29 objects submitted to the Minor Planet Center.

- The page says one Blanco survey contained 1,754 moving objects, including a candidate it says matched nothing on record.
Field notes
The examples are tied to a specific archival dataset: the Blanco 4-meter telescope photographed one sky patch 20 times over five nights in March 2014. Ilvarra says it compared moving objects across those images, naming 2014 EC95 and a separate object it says matched nothing on record. A newer post claims 29 objects were submitted to the Minor Planet Center under the identifier 1F916; the extract does not independently confirm the findings or submission.
