Tiny Meteorite Hits $10 Billion James Webb Space Telescopes Massive Mirror @The Cosmos News

THERE ARE RISKS IN SPACE!!!

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was impacted by a space "rock" as was just reported by NASA! Watch and listen (Full Screen with Sound up) to the video!

Here is the description written by YouTube Channel "The Cosmos News":

James Webb Space Telescope was hit by a tiny space rock – but it’s OK
NASA’s new powerful space telescope gets hit by larger than expected micrometeoroid
One of the mirrors of NASA’s huge new space observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, was hit by a small space rock larger than anything they tested it with on the ground

ASA’s new powerful space observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, got pelted by a larger than expected micrometeoroid at the end of May, causing some detectable damage to one of the spacecraft’s 18 primary mirror segments. The impact means that the mission team will have to correct for the distortion created by the strike, but NASA says that the telescope is “still performing at a level that exceeds all mission requirements.”

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is the agency’s incredibly powerful next-generation space telescope, designed to look into the farthest reaches of the Universe and see back in time to the stars and galaxies that formed just after the Big Bang. It cost NASA nearly $10 billion to build and more than two decades to complete. But, on Christmas Day 2021, the telescope finally launched to space, where it underwent an extremely complex unfolding process before reaching its final destination roughly 1 million miles from Earth.

Enjoy!
