研究员用Claude Code发现疑似新行星
研究员用Claude Code在NASA旧数据里发现疑似新行星，模型完成了大部分天文数据分析工作。
一名独立研究员使用Claude Code和Opus 5.5、Fable 5.1模型分析NASA TESS数据，发现一颗可能的新行星。该行星位于约116光年外，每3.18天会变暗0.05%持续两小时，大小约为地球的1.4倍。这颗候选行星自2018年起就存在于TESS数据中，此前未被报告。TESS将于10月31日至11月26日再次对该区域进行观测。

An independent researcher used Claude Code to find a possible new planet. It had been sitting in NASA's TESS data since 2018, and he could find no earlier report of it.
Claude Code with Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 did most of the work: parsing the light curves, writing the transit search, fitting transits, checking nearby stars and secondary eclipses. He set the questions and the pass/fail rules.
The star is about 116 light-years away. Every 3.18 days it dims by about 0.05% for two hours, which fits a planet about 1.4 times the size of Earth. It is still a candidate, and TESS will check it again from Oct 31 to Nov 26.
