#NASAWebb’s mirrors are warming up their moves! 💃🏾 Each of Webb's 18 primary mirror segments have motors to align them to perform as one big mirror. There are additional motors on Webb's secondary and fine steering mirrors. Today engineers commanded all of these motors, confirming they are in working order. Ground teams have also started instructing Webb’s primary mirror segments (as well as the secondary mirror) to move from the configuration which kept them from rattling around during launch

One of the James Webb Space Telescope’s most iconic features is its segmented primary mirror: 18 hexagons made of beryllium (one of the strongest and lightest metals on Earth) covered in a thin layer of gold. Each segment is 4.5 feet in diameter (1.4 meters), and when the mirror is completely unfolded, it has a full diameter of 21.6 feet (6.5 meters). Webb needs a mirror this large to observe faint galaxies that are 13 billion light-years away. It will be able to collect more light than previous

The 18 random dots featured in this video might not look like much, but they represent a big step forward in the James Webb Space Telescope’s 3-month mirror alignment process and its quest to #UnfoldTheUniverse. Let’s connect the dots! These dots confirm that Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, or NIRCam, can collect light from celestial objects — and that starlight from the same star can be reflected from each of Webb’s 18 unaligned mirror segments back at Webb’s secondary mirror and then into NIRCam’
