ScienceSoftware helps Webb capture more data for exoplanet imaging

Researchers have developed software that optimizes a physical model of the telescope to account for subtle changes in its configuration and pointing between observations. The approach reduces noise and improves imaging of exoplanets, whose light is difficult to distinguish from their much brighter stars.
