The telescope is then ready to move on to the last phase that will precede the beginning of scientific work: the commissioning of its scientific instruments.
These are in fact a very complex set of lenses, filters and other equipment that will take about two months to be activated and to check their correct operation. In addition, over the course of these two months, the team will continue to monitor the telescope’s calibration, monitoring the alignment of its mirrors day by day.
The last effort for the JWST, after which it will begin to return us wonderful images of the Universe that surrounds us!
