So, the recent TRAPPIST-1 planet discovery? This is actually what we saw from Earth. Not to discredit the discovery or anything. There's an incredible amount behind the scenes and it's infinitely more complex than just a pic. But this is how they tracked the planet and determined their orbit and size.
That said, once the JWST get in the air, holy shit there's going to be another huge jump in clarity, distance, light pollution prevention, etc.
