The Mirrors Of The World’s Most Powerful Telescope
Jen DiMascioNASA is installing the most visible element of the James Webb Space Telescope, designed to provide images of the first galaxies ever formed. Assembling the telescope’s mirrors is but one component of the multibillion-dollar effort to study the stars and is projected to be completed within months. Later this year, NASA will be working to integrate the cameras and spectrographs that make up the Integrated Science Instrument Module, which is supposed to record faint signals from far-off stars.
