The James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first images, including a "selfie."
The objective was to identify starlight from the same star in each of the telescope's 18 primary mirror segments.
The result showed 18 randomly organized dots of starlight, which are the product of Webb's unaligned mirror segments all reflecting light from the same star back at Webb’s secondary mirror and into NIRCam’s detectors.
