Digital Twin of James Webb Telescope Enables Detection of Planets 15 Times Weaker

The digital twin allows scientists to test and refine the telescope's instruments and algorithms.

The James Webb Space Telescope's digital twin has been used to detect exoplanets that are 15 times weaker than those previously detectable by the telescope.

The digital twin is a virtual replica of the telescope, allowing scientists to test and refine its instruments and algorithms in a simulated environment.

This capability will enable the telescope to make more precise measurements and detect fainter signals, expanding its scientific reach.
