English: James Webb Space Telescope primary mirror captured by it from Lagrange 2 point
Bonus image! When it’s time to focus, sometimes you need to take a good look at yourself. This “selfie” taken by Webb of its primary mirror was not captured by an externally mounted engineering camera, but with a special lens within its NIRCam instrument. #UnfoldTheUniverse |
