Time lapse video showing the installation of all 18 mirror segments of the Webb Telescope at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

A time lapse video showing the installation of the 18 mirror segments of James Webb Space Telescope's primary mirror. The time lapse master used to create this video contains more than 160,000 images. If these images were played in sequence at a common video speed of 30 frames a second, the total run time would be one hour and 20 mintues long. This is an edited version of that master.
