Nasa Releases First “FULLY ALIGNED” Image From James Webb Space Telescope
NASA has released a stunning new image taken by its James Webb Space Telescope that shows a star fully in focus, surrounded by a dizzying vista of galaxies. “We have the highest resolution infrared images taken from space ever,” said Scott Acton, a wavefront sensing and controls scientist working on the telescope, in a video accompanying the announcement . The “telescope performed better than the models said it should,” Acton added. It’s a stellar achievement and a massive payoff for the many scientists who have been tirelessly working on developing, launching, and deploying the massive space observatory. “More than 20 years ago, the Webb team set out to build the most powerful telescope that anyone has ever put in space and came up with an audacious optical design to meet demanding science goals,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, in the statement. “Today we can say that design is going to deliver.” Late last week, scientists comp
