By moving a mirror just one-sixteenth the width of a human hair, specialists aligned the observatory's powerful instruments into near-perfect focus. The Wide Field Instrument now generates exceptionally sharp cosmic surveys, setting the stage for unprecedented views of the early universe. This technical triumph follows rigorous main-instrument checkouts and strategic planning by global science consortia aiming to mine data f
