JWST Uses New Technique to Discover Exoplanets Hidden by Star Glare

• Researchers have developed a new technique using the JWST to find dim exoplanets more easily.
• The technique helps overcome the challenge of stars' glare overwhelming nearby planets' faint glow.
• This method has been used to discover a giant exoplanet from two-year-old JWST data.
• The new technique involves using a 'digital twin' to simulate and remove starlight, enhancing exoplanet visibility.
• This breakthrough improves the ability to photograph planets orbiting nearby stars.
