James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)


JWST observes Earendel - the most distant star known - 12.8 billion light years away.

Earendel is the name of one of the Elf kingdoms in Lord of the Rings … see, I knew all this stuff was just baloney. They can’t even come up with original names, they have to plagiarize a dead British academic. Geez 🙄
 
I am having trouble with one of the mirror segments on the telescope.

The Z-axis actuator is sticking on segment #17.

Does anyone know the best way to get the actuators unstuck?

I bought an extended warranty policy from TelescopeShied and they are saying that the damage or malfunction is not covered.

Shouldn’t these be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty or by the extended warranty from TelescopeShield?
