JWST: Webb's optics and NIRCam Alignment Milestone Achieved
On March 11, the Webb team completed the stage of alignment known as “fine phasing.” At this key stage in the commissioning of Webb’s Optical Telescope Element, every optical parameter that has been checked and tested is performing at, or above, expectations. The team also found no critical issues and no measurable contamination or blockages to Webb’s optical path. The observatory is able to successfully gather light from distant objects and deliver it to its instruments without issue.

Celebrate National STEM Day with NASA
National STEM Day recognizes the ways science, technology, engineering, and math benefit humanity on Earth and in space.
NASA’s greatest accomplishments and most ambitious plans are made possible by the explorers, engineers, scientists, and leaders who harness the STEM expertise of our top-notch workforce. In order to return humans to the Moon with the Artemis missions, venture to Mars and beyond, continue to improve our understanding of our changing planet, and more, it’s more important than ever to inspire and encourage today’s students – the Artemis generation – to join in the fun of STEM activities and begin to chart their own career journeys
