Two PhD students from Sydney have helped restore the sharp vision of the world's most powerful space observatory without ever leaving the ground. Louis Desdoigts, now a postdoctoral researcher at Leiden University in the Netherlands, and his colleague Max Charles celebrated their achievement with tattoos of the instrument they repaired inked on their arms -- an enduring reminder of their contribution to space science. A Groundbreaking Software Fix Researchers at the University of Sydney developed an innovative software solution that corrected blurriness in images captured by NASA's multi-billion-dollar James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Their breakthrough restored the full precision of one of the telescope's key instruments, achieving what would once have required a costly astronaut repair mission. This success builds on the JWST's only Australian-designed component, the Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI). Created by Professor Peter Tuthill from the University of Sydney's School of
