Even NASA’s JWST, the largest telescope in space, struggles to take pictures of planets close to their stars. A star can be billions of times brighter than its planets, and even a coronagraph—a mask inside the telescope that blocks a star’s light—can’t eliminate its glare completely. Now, astronomers have devised a way to model the minuscule imperfections in JWST’s optics and subtract that unwanted light. The technique boosted the telescope’s sensitivity to faint planets by as much as 15 times in one test. It also revealed a previously known exoplanet, 51 Eridani b, at a midinfrared wavelength where it had not been detected before. Learn more: https://t.co/L217sv7wRd
