All the mirrors of the James Webb Telescope are 1.6 million km from Earth. Arranged away

LONDON: The James Webb Telescope has mounted all its mirrors in space, a total of one million miles (1.6 million km) away from Earth, including a journey of 850,000 miles, NASA said. Once the mirror is fully aligned, it will be about the size and shape of a tennis court.

Thus the configuration in the space of the ten billion dollar James Webb Telescope is nearing completion. It is expected to be completed by January 23. The James Webb Telescope was launched into space by the Arian-Five rocket from the European Space Agency's Port French Guiana on Christmas day.

Once the telescope is set to L-2 point on February 9, its configuration will be completed. The James Webb Telescope has been in space for over a month. It will now gradually move in the direction of being aligned at the Langreigian point. Langregian Point is the place where the gravity of the sun and the earth are balanced. This telescope will remain at this point for decades.

All 18 primary mirror segments and secondary mirror segments are fully aligned, said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. He congratulated the team which has been working tirelessly for months.

The famous Golden Mirror, used by astronomers for decades, is shaped into 18 individual hexagonal shapes. Each of these segments is controlled by seven actuators. Through it they will be able to make tight and focusing movements. They are all in their position now.

Due to the process going on for several days, they have been arranged earlier than the scheduled time. NASA predicts that the telescope will start sending its image to Methi.

The US space agency began setting up the mirror on January 12. It was planned to be completed in ten days, but it was already done. However, even after this work is completed, the telescope is not yet in use for observation. Now the work of fine tuning of each mirror position will be done. This work will be done in such a way that it becomes a single ultra-powerful mirror. All this process will take three months. After that it will be tested and started.

He currently has a 21-foot gold-coated primary mirror. Joining the primary mirror segment to create a large mirror means that each segment will be aligned with the thickness of fifteen thousandths of a human hair. Once the fine tuning is done, the James Webb Telescope will send its first image in May. It will be processed for another month and the image will be released in June. Altu orbit has a distance of one million miles or 1.6 million km from the Earth.
