Will the yellow gold mirror color require NASA to color-correct JWST's images like they have to for images that are taken through our blue atmosphere?
@wasd____3 жыл бұрын
No, JWST is an infrared telescope. It doesn't "see" in color as we think of it.

Why doesn’t the gold mirror affect the image? Doesn’t the gold colour make the image more yellow in colour?

So why go to all the trouble to fabricate a Beryllium mirror only to end up coating it in gold?And what about Gallium? A liquid gallium mirror might be just as good.

Due to the large surface area of the mirrors, how durable are they from space dust and debris?
@NASAWebbTelescope3 жыл бұрын
We'll be a million miles from Earth and there isn't much debris out there. Tests were done on beryllium mirrors (beryllium is what is under the gold) and micrometeoroids had negligible effects on them.

No, the amount of gold required is so light that it wouldn't be a factor even if a lot more was needed.

Gold is the best reflector for the wavelengths measured, nuff said. This whole thing about gold not oxidizing is just fluff because Webb is going to be in space.

About five years ago I had the remarkable experience of seeing the beautiful Mask of Agamemnon, which is displayed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. What was so astonishing to me was that approximately 3500 years after it was created, it looked like it could have just been made. The artistry of it is beautiful and very historically significant, but the gold was spectacular! Photographs cannot do it justice. Gold has inspired the term "The Gold Standard" for good reason! It should serve JWST well.
