NASA has released a stunning new image that shows a star fully in focus, surrounded by a plethora of galaxies.
In a video accompanying the announcement, a scientist working on the telescope said they have the highest resolution images taken from space ever.

A massive payoff for the many scientists who have been working on developing, launching, and deployment of the massive space observatory is what it is.
Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA, said that the team at NASA came up with an audacious optical design to meet demanding science goals, after setting out to build the most powerful telescope that anyone has ever put in space.
The telescope perfectly aligned its 18 hexagonal mirror segments to focus on a single bright star.
The results are better than expected. NASA notes in its press release that all optical parameters that have been checked and tested are performing at or above expectations.
There were no critical issues and no measurableContamination to the optical path, according to NASA.
The performance of the telescope is beating specifications, according to the deputy optical telescope element manager.
The final steps of the alignment process are being worked on by scientists.
Despite the big success, official operations won't start for another couple of months.
I cannot wait to see what it discovers, according to the video.
The James Webb Space Telescope is just about to become its first star.
