NASA has released the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Pictures show star pictures. The quality is not perfect because the mirrors are not yet aligned.
The images were taken with eighteen mirrors and now show eighteen copies of HD 84406, a star from the Big Dipper. This star was chosen because it is very bright and there are also relatively few other stars around it, so there can be no confusion about the light source.
Despite the ambiguity of the pictures Happy NASA With the first tangible achievement of the James Webb Telescope, which was launched at the end of December. The space agency says it’s a starting point for aligning the mirror parts. If it works, the mirrors can work together as a whole. The hope is that the star’s first solo photo will be taken next month.
James Webb is the successor to the famous Hubble Space Telescope and is now located approximately 1.6 million kilometers from Earth. Among other things, the telescope should search for distant galaxies and signs of life in space.
