Story summary

Sydney researchers used AMIGO to repair NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), eliminating image blurring from electronic distortions.
PhD students Louis Desdoigts and Max Charles developed the solution without a space mission.
The fix improved precision and enabled sharper detections of a dim exoplanet and a black hole jet.
The researchers plan to share AMIGO with JWST researchers after publishing their arXiv findings and presenting at SXSW Sydney.
