Summary

Brice Ménard, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University and a researcher at Anthropic, describes how he worked with Claude Science to produce the first complete map of the sky in UV light. About a third of the map, including much of the galactic plane, was predicted with Claude Science, and the map labels each pixel as "measured" or "predicted" with uncertainty estimates. The gaps exist because GALEX, which imaged about two-thirds of the sky between 2003 and 2013, skipped locations with very bright stars.
