What did the AI agents contribute to the sky map project?
The astrophysicist's account describes Claude Science agents helping gather and cross-calibrate public ultraviolet surveys into a broader map. The work remained a human-directed research project. The account emphasizes educational value and does not claim that AI independently made new observations throughout the sky.
