Astronomy Picture of the Day: The James Webb Space Telescope teams have revealed the first image taken with the telescope's main mirror fully aligned.


Wednesday, March 16, 2022: The James Webb Space Telescope teams have revealed the first image taken with the telescope's main mirror fully aligned. 

The image captures a star called HD 84406, which, according to NASA, is rather uninteresting, having only been selected as Webb's first target because of its faintness and location in the sky. 

The star is 100 times fainter than what humans can see with the naked eye, but Webb can see it bright and clear. And not only the star, but also dozens of galaxies in the distance that were out of reach of space observatories before. – Tereza Pultarova
