Astronomers discover hidden alien planet in James Webb images
A breakthrough in telescope imaging could reveal countless alien worlds that have been hiding in plain sight. Scientists developed a new technique that uses a digital twin of the James Webb Space Telescope to remove the overwhelming glare of stars, making faint exoplanets two to 15 times easier to detect than with conventional methods. The technology has already uncovered a previously hidden planet in existing telescope data and could reveal many more.
