JWST: Ghosts and Mirrors
The James Webb Space Telescope, with its gold-tinted mirror segments, is seen here during testing at Goddard Space Flight Center. In a darkened clean room, technicians use flashlights and ultraviolet lights to check for contamination after vibration and acoustic tests. The long exposure of the camera creates the illusion of 'ghosts' around the telescope's structure.
