- JWST data that was two years old brought a giant planet into view after the glare-removal technique highlighted by Phys.org was applied.
- Nature describes exoplanet imaging below the telescope stability limit, while Caltech’s related coverage frames the same method as erasing stars to find planets.
Why it matters: For exoplanet researchers, the material change is access: software can recover one giant planet from two-year-old JWST data and image planets below the telescope stability limit. The archived dataset shows the method working on observations already in hand, while the lower limit broadens the range of imageable planetary targets.
