First dazzling photo from the James Webb Space Telescope!

NASA, of the James Webb Space Telescope announced that it had successfully aligned its mirrors almost three months after launch. NASA’s new telescope looked at distant stars after alignment and recorded a dazzling photo.

Image from the James Webb Space Telescope the other day, 1.6 million kilometers from Earth He revealed that 18 hexagonal mirrors work together. Officials at NASA said this image was a test shot, but performed better than expected.

James Webb Space Telescope, 18 gold plated hexagonal mirror with the help of which he examines the depths of space. But for all these mirrors to act as one mirror, they must be aligned with extraordinary precision—in nanometer adjustments.

When the observatory released its first images in February, the mirrors were not yet aligned and the images were blurry. The new test shot, served from NASA, is dazzlingly beautiful for a star 1.6 million kilometers away, though the alignment process isn’t finished.

Photograph, recorded by the James Webb Space Telescope 2MASS J17554042+6551277 points to the bright star. At a press conference at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Jane Rigby, the scientist responsible for the telescope, said:

“This is one of the clearest images you can get from a telescope this size. The performance of the telescope so far has given us what we wanted.”

However, the first images that are scientifically valuable, to the end of June or early July it won’t come up.

About 32 years old Hubble Space Telescope its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, was launched last December and reached its intended orbit in January. Last month, NASA looked at a much closer star with 18 separate images of mirror fragments.
