“After initial evaluations, the team found that the telescope was still performing at a level that exceeded all mission requirements despite the marginally detectable effect on the data,” the US space agency said. “Webb’s performance at the beginning of life is still far above expectations and the observatory is fully capable of carrying out the science it was designed to succeed,” he added. One of the main observatory sections of the space observatory was hit by a micrometeorologist, which tends to be smaller than a grain of sand, between 23 and 25 May. The telescope, which is expected to cost Nasa nearly $ 10 billion, is one of the most expensive scientific platforms ever built, comparable to Hubble’s predecessor and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
