NASA's new space telescope has captured its first starlight and even taken a selfie of its giant, gold mirror. All 18 segments of the primary mirror on the James Webb Space Telescope seem to be working properly 1 1/2 months into the mission, officials said Friday. The telescope's first target was a bright star 258 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. That was just a real wow moment, said Marshall Perrin of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. Over the next few months, the hexagonal mirror segments each the size of a coffee table will be aligned and focused as one, allowing science observations to begin by the end of June.
