NASA just hit another big milestone with James Webb. Its $10 billion machine has successfully completed two further steps to align the mirrors. Notably, the resulting performance indicates that Webb will meet or exceed its design goals.
How important is this?
And what's next for Webb?
All this and more in today's episode of Great SpaceX!

NASA officials revealed in a news conference held virtually on Wednesday that the James Webb Space Telescope's main mirror is fully aligned and performing even better than it had been designed to do.
The 21.3-foot-wide mirror composed of 18 hexagonal segments had to travel to space folded. Aligning it into one smooth reflecting surface was one of the main tasks that the Webb control team has had to tackle since the giant telescope's launch on Dec. 25.
But now, difficulties have been left behind!
The alignment process, which involved fine-tuning the positions and inclinations of the 18 segments with nanometer-scale precision, has now been completed.
And although that process is not yet complete, the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope mission — the most complex and most expensive such observatory ever launched — is already producing images that take the scientists' breath away.

To be resolved, thank you.

This is an exciting time to be alive. I thought it would take a lot longer to start getting images like these. I can only imagine what the next batch of photos will look like 🤯

Can’t wait to start seeing more pics farther into the universe in the past

Wow, I have been curbing my enthusiasm because I lived through the Hubble debacle all those years ago. But it looks like they have pulled it off and I’m very excited to follow what this instrument reveals! Thanks for a great report.

This bring tears toy eyes. I 47, I remember falling in love with space at 13. The excitement when Hubble showed the beautiful image and now James Webb is going to answer many questions amd bring new ones. I am happy to be alive to see that.

I bet this year would be the greatest year for AEROSPACE not even 2023 might match 2022 work I think so. We will again get a year like 2022 in 2024 again I think so.

How does the jwst aim? Does the whole thing rotate as one piece or does the mirror structure move and rotate relative to the shield or is it only the mirrors that move? I don’t understand how it sums up down left or right? Which part pivots?

I hope that we will be alive long enough to learn more about universe.

Outstanding work folks! So excited to see more. Imagine children who weren’t even born when JWST was being designed will be astronomers etc discovering new things with this technology we only dreamed of!

The "final" alignment won't happen until the temps stabilize. There's still a bit of cooling to come. I thought there would be more radiant heat left that would create more noise than is seen at this point. The contrast is not bad, but it will improve.

Can it zoom in on any of those planets in galaxies?

I remember when they're planning to make this masterpiece 1996 ago.. and now it's finally operating

I doff my cap to the thousands of men and women who have made this possible. It completely blows my mind.

We should still be seeing daily images regardless of calibration… we should be receiving live feeds through the complete process…. This will give us a better understanding of the science and process, not to mention the inspiration to new youngsters

2:50 The "amber colored star" was false color of course. It was imaged at 2000 nm, which is well into the infrared. As for "emanating streams of light across the universe, " those are just diffraction lines from the secondary mirror supports.

So glad this one worked. Time well spent! 👍👍 Thanks everybody!

I’m looking forward to seeing the galaxies that were the birthplaces of those most distant quasars. There are lots of questions awaiting answers.

it will take time before they release images! i’m positive each image will be carefully examined! carefully ! before any amazing images are released to the public.
! cause you know they want need and have to control everything! i wouldnt hold my breath!

good to know Webb won't have to borrow Hubble's reading glasses.

Congratulations to NASA on this epic milestone on fully functioning this highly technical space instrument. Now what are they going to do if it malfunctions due to complexity? How are they going to service it?

good morning so great to be taken away from this sad world at the moment, even if its just a visuals moment.
thank you NASA each day i check your progress so exciting for every one, have a fantastic day.
