NASA’s Webb Reaches Alignment Milestone, Optics Working Successfully

The image is so fascinating, the way there are &#x27;casually&#x27; so many galaxies visible.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nasa.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;thumbnails&#x2F;image&#x2F;telescope_alignment_evaluation_image_labeled.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nasa.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;thumbnails&#x2F;image&#x2F;te...</a><p>Zoom in and you can see some of the swirls of the galaxies.
