  Nature · November 4, 2026 00:00
  Nature, Published online: 04 November 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03295-6 An image-processing framework for detecting exoplanets directly has been developed. The technique overcomes the telescope-stability barrier that has limited previous methods, reveals fainter exoplanets than other approaches…
