According to the news on NASA’s website, the James Webb Space Telescope completed the alignment phase known as “fine staging” on March 11.
With the work, each mirror of the telescope, which consists of 18 hexagonal beryllium mirror pieces, is aligned for the first time and focused on a star.
The star, named “2MASS J17554042+6551277”, was photographed with a near infrared camera (NIRCam).
