![Post-processed images of Altair (ADI+RDI, 5 KL modes) with NIRCam. The top row shows Epoch 1 in F444W (left) and F200W (right); the bottom row shows Epoch 2 in the same filters. North is up, east is to the left. Point sources around Altair were shown to be background stars using a combination of F200W-F444W colors and lack of common proper motion with Altair in the second Epoch data. The negative sources on the images are due to the ADI subtraction.-- [astro-ph.EP]](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Searching-for.png?resize=1200%2C718&ssl=1)
