NASA confirmed that the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on Webb detected a faint, brief point of light in a series of ten ...

NIRCam is capable of taking images of the 18 primary mirror segments, and it generated the selfie for engineering and alignment purposes, NASA said on its blog Friday (Feb. 11).

NIRCam’s resolution is able to detect tiny knots of gas, comprised of sulfur, oxygen, argon and neon from the star itself.

Webb’s latest challenge was a trial run of the Near Infrared Camera, or NIRCam, identifying dots of starlight from the same star in each of the 18 hexagonal segments of its massive mirror.

NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) is one of four science instruments on board Webb. Responsible for doing a lot of the cutting-edge science, NIRCam can detect infrared light from the earliest stars ...
