Very little further information was given about the announcement, which will take place on Thursday. But it will almost certainly relate to exoplanets – Earth-sized worlds that orbit around their own stars, and are our best hope of finding alien life.

The space agency said that the discovery was made with the help of Google artificial intelligence, which is being used to analyse the data sent down by the telescope.

By using machine learning provided by the tech giant, NASA hopes that it can pick through the possible planets more quickly and hopefully find life-supporting planets sooner.
