James Webb Space Telescope’s First Photos Public Mirror Adjustment Still Takes Time – Hong Kong unwire.hk

NASA’s next-generation James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently been put into operation after years of delays and installations, and NASA has released the first images taken by the JWST, but this still needs to be further adjusted before it can be practical Effect.

NASA recently released a new photo. It looks like a black cosmic background with a bunch of white dots. This picture is the first photo taken by JWST using its NIRCam system. The white dots above are actually numbered HD 84406. Stars, this phenomenon occurs only because the 18 mirrors of the JWST are still misaligned. In the future, all NASA needs to do is to align the lenses so that all images can overlap in the correct position.

Originally scheduled to be launched in 2007, the JWST, which replaced the Hubble Space Telescope, was finally delayed until the end of 2021 due to funding and other issues. It can finally replace the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been severely aged and worn out. Although the clear image has not been captured this time, it is also an important milestone. After the completion of the future setting, it will be able to provide important information for scientific research and explore more mysteries of the universe.
