An apparatus as complex as the James Webb Space Telescope takes a little while to get running, so while it entered its orbit late last month, it’s still working through its startup process. Today’s milestone is a big one, with Webb spotting its first star, 18 times over. And it took a selfie to celebrate.

As you probably know if you’ve glanced at coverage of this enormous orbital telescope over the many years of its development, assembly and deployment, the Webb is basically a honeycomb-shaped collection of 18 mirrors, which help it capture large amounts of infrared light from its chosen target.
