![]() The Webb team will continue to fine-tune the mirrors to "make the single dot of starlight progressively sharper and more focused in the coming weeks." The mirror-alignment process started in early February and is expected to last three months. ![]() That's how we got to the single-star shot. "The team activated sets of six mirrors at a time and commanded them to repoint their light to overlap, until all dots of starlight overlapped with each other," NASA said. The next phase was "image stacking," which is pretty much what it sounds like. #UnfoldTheUniverse /2H4EMAo8ck- NASA Webb Telescope February 25, 2022 #NASAWebb has completed 2 more phases of its 3-month mirror alignment process: First, the team made adjustments to its mirror segments & updated the alignment of its secondary mirror, refining each of the 18 dots of starlight from its 18 mirror segments.
