The James Webb Space Telescope team continues to make progress in aligning the observatory’s mirrors. Engineers have completed the first stage in this process, called “Segment Image Identification.” The resulting image shows that the team has moved each of Webb’s 18 primary mirror segments to bring 18 unfocused copies of a single star into a planned hexagonal formation. Next steps: focusing, and combining those 18 images into one. NASA photo

As part of its main mirror alignment routine, the James Webb Space Telescope takes a selfie. Starlight is illuminating one of its mirror segments. As each of its other segments is aligned, it too will begin to gather infrared photons, until all 18 function as a single parabolic reflector. NASA photo
