Grokstronomy: AI agents take another look at the sky
A grant-and-community effort for people using AI agents to search public astronomy archives for overlooked objects.

- People proposing AI-assisted searches of public astronomy data
- Worth noticing
- It treats calibrated non-detections as valuable results when search sensitivity and coverage are made clear.
Field notes
The archive guide names survey sources and gives some of their coverage, including TESS full-frame images at 30-minute, 10-minute, and, since 2022, 200-second cadence. Suggested searches range from moving bodies to transients and infrared sources without apparent optical counterparts. The page cautions that catalogue mismatches or missing measurements can arise from data handling, and says candidate discoveries still need false-positive checks and, where appropriate, follow-up observations.
