How do you photograph a planet when its star overwhelms the view? We explore FLIP, a physics-based imaging technique that models the James Webb Space Telescope's tiny optical changes and subtracts the glare they leave behind. Applied to existing observations, it recovered the known planet 51 Eridani b and improved sensitivity in tests across three star systems. This is a story about finding more in the data we already have—and how better software could help future observatories search for di...
