THAT’S NICE, BUT WE STILL NEED A SPACE TELESCOPE CAPABLE OF DETECTING ORION SLAVE GIRLS: Software squeezes more data out of Webb Telescope for imaging exoplanets. “While telescopes can be fitted with devices called coronagraphs that block out much of a star’s light, there are limits to their effectiveness, caused by noise from subtle variations in the telescope’s configuration and pointing between observations. Now, researchers have developed a new software package that optimizes a physical model of the telescope in a way that allows us to better model these differences, producing low-noise imaging of exoplanets.”
