Excellent, lucid explanation on how the individual mirrors' reflection will be arranged, focused and then aligned. Thank you for the graphics and narrative that made that crystal clear!

Super well explained, so that a casual tech enthusiast like me understood this stage! The super hard work of countless brilliant people on JWST has resulted in a product of science and engineering that seems really magical to me. It's a tool though, and I can't wait for the discoveries it makes possible!
