The study of space exploration has been studied for a very long time, and as technology has developed, so too have the methods and techniques employed, along with the quantity and type of data acquired. We now receive so much astronomical data, and so much brand new data is being generated every day, that it is physically impracticable to examine it all only by human work. In our study, we look at a number of astronomers face while working with this massive amount of data, and they use deep learning techniques to discover the best data for each objective. [1]previously SVM, KNN, the random forest approach, decision trees, and other multi-class classification algorithms are all used in the methodology. Galaxies' propensity to belong to specific classes is forecasted using regression. even if the findings from the random forest method were the best it was unable to effectively divide galaxies into the five groups. This approach does not explain real-time categorization and does not take outliers into consideration. The model's adaptability is constrained. This categorization scheme is unable to account for the modelling of galaxies as well as their evolution. Here, we suggest using Inception v3 for categorization and VGG-19 for image analysis. Segmentation is a method for discovering and classifying galaxies. These techniques greatly advance certain fields of study where there are enormous volumes of duplicate data that must be deleted in accordance with the demands of the study, thanks to Python's high performance in the investigation of image processing and computer vision.. As a result, there is less of a need for researchers to carefully sort through all of the data that has been collected from satellite telescopes, sky surveys, etc. [2]
