NASA’s new space telescope sees 1st starlight, takes selfie

NASA's new space telescope has captured its first starlight and even taken a selfie of its giant, gold mirror.

All 18 segments of the primary mirror on the James Webb Space Telescope seem to be working properly 1 1/2 months into the mission, officials said on Feb. 11. The telescope's first target was a bright star 258 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.
