Summary

[edit]
Description

Cleanroom workers pose for a quick group photo with the James Webb Space Telescope mirrors on May 4th, 2016. Reflected in the mirror is the NASA logo. The telescope structure and mirrors were in the process of being rotated face-down, the configuration necessary for installing the science instruments behind the giant golden primary mirror. The mirrors, which are actually made of beryllium, are covered with a microscopically thin layer of gold, which optimizes them for reflecting infrared light.

This photo also helps give a scale to JWST - the primary mirror is some 6.5 meters in diameter. The telescope will eventually be mated to a sunshield that is the size of a tennis court.

This group photo opportunity is also visible in the time-lapse footage from this day.
