A Bay Area teenager has impressed NASA so much, the space agency decided to include him, and his work, on their official website.

The challenge was to ask people to use data from NASA telescopes for real world, and out of this world, applications.

 Ahd-Vaid Sunny, a college student from Pleasanton, says he and his partners used AI to find and track exo-planets, which are planets that exist outside of our solar system.

NASA was so impressed with his work, it will include his findings on their website.

The agency also says it’s in talks to do more work with Sunny and his team.

“I’ve always been fascinated with space, exploring the unknown, when I first learned about the space shuttle in elementary school, I was just immediately obsessed with the whole idea,” Sunny said.
