There is a new search engine still in the programing stage which will be able to identify those questionable white fuzzies in any amateur photograph, turning them into named objects and mapping their place in the sky.
This new astronomy tool was showcased during the Astrophysics 2020 conference at Johns Hopkins University's Space Telescope Science Institute by Project Leader, David Hogg of New York University.
The goal of the project is based on astrometry and the new search engine will have the ability to "automatically tag random celestial images with crucial meta-data", valuable for research.
