ALT Artist illustration of the Webb telescope floating in the vast darkness of space. The telescope's hexagonal mirror seems to glow gold, reflecting faint stars. Below the mirror is Webb's large, five-layer sunshield, which is roughly the shape of a kite. While it appears to be largely cast in shadow, some parts of it look as if they are reflecting the gold of the mirror. Overall, the sunshield structure seems made of a metallic, purple-tinged material.
