The space telescope is located 1.5 million kilometers away Earth On Thursday 28th April it completed the alignment phase of its scientific instruments. Announced that it is now ready to explore the boundaries of the universe NASA.

Four powerful instruments, three imagers and a spectrograph successfully attached themselves to the main mirror (6.5 meters in diameter), with its deployment completed two weeks later in early January. Lifting James Webb Telescope (JWST) from French Guiana.

Each has reached its “operating temperature” and is now ready for its scientific commission, NASA detailed in a press release.

Lee Feinberg, Elements Manager of the Web Optical Telescope at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said: “These remarkable experimental images demonstrate what people in countries and continents can achieve when they have a bold scientific vision to explore the universe.

The $ 10 billion James Webb is expected by astronomers around the world, and could be particularly noticeable for the first galaxies to form about 200 million years after the Big Bang.
