A Reddit user claims to have discovered a potential new exoplanet using Claude Code, an AI tool. The user analyzed data from NASA's TESS telescope, identifying a recurring dimming pattern around a star approximately 116 light-years away. This candidate planet, estimated to be 1.4 times the size of Earth, exhibits a dip in brightness every 3.18 days. The user employed Claude Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 for data parsing, analysis, and validation, generating over 1,000 scripts across 74 analyses to rule out false positives. AI
