Description

English: NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, left, NASA Associate Administrator Bob Cabana, and NASA Administrator Bill Nelson are shown an early mirror alignment image from the James Webb Space Telescope, by NASA Webb Optical Telescope Element Manager Lee Feinberg, as NASA Program Director for the James Webb Space Telescope Program Greg Robinson, right, looks on, Monday, Feb., 7, 2022, at the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters building in Washington. This engineering visual, which features 18 unfocused dots of light, demonstrates that the Webb team has successfully identified starlight through each of Webb’s 18 hexagonal mirror segments – the starting point in a months-long process to progressively align the segments into a single, precise mirror to prepare the telescope for science.
