Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The size of Webb's primary mirror—6.5 meters (21.6 feet) across—was determined by scientists and engineers in order for the telescope to observe distant galaxies at over 13 billion light-years away. The team also decided to make the mirror segments from beryllium, which is both strong and light.
