James Webb Space Telescope Mirror Rollover Timelapse
In this rare timelapse video see inside the world's largest clean room
at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland as the
James Webb Space Telescope team lifts and turns the telescope for the
first time. With glimmering gold surfaces, the large primary and rounded
secondary mirror on this telescope are specially designed to reflect
infrared light from some of the first stars ever born. The team will now
begin to prepare to install the telescope's science instruments to the
back of the mirrors. Webb is an international project led by NASA with
its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.
