Another big JWST milestone: The first deep, clear image, with galaxies galore,The James Webb Space Telescope has reached a new milestone: “Fine-phasing” calibration is now complete, which means all 18 hexagonal submirrors are acting as a single unit, and are now focused and aimed perfectly at a single spot in one of JWST’s many scientific cameras. This is a critical step in a long path to having the giant telescope ready for scientific observations, which will start this summer.
