Full Story: Space (11/28)  Technology Data science helps cross-check space discoveries (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team) Matching astronomical objects is critical for space scientists because different surveys supply different information, whether that be wavelength data, exposure times, or even the date the survey was done. With so much data, it is often hard to match objects to one another across surveys. That's why one group at Johns Hopkins University turned to data science to develop a new method of making such matches.

And, as far as we know, water is necessary for life. So naturally, detecting the presence of water in and around alien worlds is a high priority for planetary scientists. There is, however, one problem.
