Astronomers must fight 'tooth and nail' to protect dark skies, study says | Space

The new paper, a comment article, argues that current efforts by astronomers are mitigating the problem of light pollution in astronomy but will not solve it unless strict and immediate regulations are enforced.
How Webb's Coronagraphs Reveal Exoplanets in the Infrared – James Webb Space Telescope
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has many different observing modes to study planets orbiting other stars, known as exoplanets. One way in particular is that Webb can directly detect some of these planets. Directly detecting planets around other stars is no easy feat.
Fortunately, Webb has the right tools for the job: the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) coronagraphic modes . Webb's coronagraphs block the light from a distant star, while allowing the faint planet light through to reach its sensors.
