After entering its final orbit around the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, otherwise known as L2, about 1.5 million kilometers (nearly a million miles) from Earth, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently detected its first photons. This is a major milestone in a nearly two-decades-long project. On February 3, the first light particles made their way through the entire telescope. Webb is now as close as ever to its primary goal of studying the early universe and capturing stunning photos of de...
