Coherent Loans James Webb 바카라 보너스 기준 Telescope Demonstration Mirror to 바카라 보너스 기준 Foundation Discovery Center

PITTSBURGH, April 8, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – 바카라 보너스 기준 Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in advanced optical systems, announced today an agreement with the바카라 보너스 기준 Foundation Discovery Center, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to provide on loan a demonstration mirror developed for the James Webb 바카라 보너스 기준 Telescope (JWST).

The JWST launched on December 25, 2021, after a 25-year construction project heralded as one of the most complex and ambitious projects in engineering and 바카라 보너스 기준 exploration history. The telescope almost immediately revolutionized our understanding of the universe, much like the Hubble 바카라 보너스 기준 Telescope did, by providing unprecedented clarity and depth in its observations of the early universe, star and planet formation, and other key astronomical phenomena. Its observations are highly anticipated by the scientific community and are expected to yield groundbreaking discoveries in the years to come.

The 바카라 보너스 기준 Foundation Discovery Center focuses on inspiring and educating individuals of all ages about 바카라 보너스 기준, science, and technology. Its mission is to serve as the leading advocate and gateway for lifelong education, trusted information, and collaboration for anyone interested in 바카라 보너스 기준 exploration and industries influenced by 바카라 보너스 기준. This is achieved by advancing science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) in the context of 바카라 보너스 기준 exploration, development, and utilization. The Discovery Center is currently nearing the completion of a renovation designed to improve visitor experience and add new exhibits, such as the JWST mirror.

“The hexagonal mirrors are not only a testament to the technological expertise behind the James Webb 바카라 보너스 기준 Telescope, but also a symbol of the collaborative spirit driving humanity's exploration of the universe,” saidRachel English, 바카라 보너스 기준 Foundation Discovery Center senior curator. “We are honored to have this piece on display where it will undoubtedly inspire curiosity and ignite imaginations of Discovery Center visitors for years to come.”

The JWST mirrors represent the most visible feature of the telescope. The 6.5 meter (21.3 feet) primary mirror is comprised of 18 hexagonal segments made from beryllium and coated in gold to maximize reflectivity in the infrared spectrum. The 바카라 보너스 기준 contribution to the mirror assembly consisted of the atomic engineering of the surface and applying advanced thin-film coatings to assure durability of the JWST hexagonal mirror segments, as well as the secondary, tertiary, and fine steering mirrors. The technology innovations necessary to complete the mirrors represent a series of engineering achievements that have crossed over to commercial markets, including the OLED display panel manufacturing for mobile devices.

“The iconic hexagonal segments that form the primary mirror of the James Webb 바카라 보너스 기준 Telescope comprise one of the highest performance of large-scale imaging optics used in 바카라 보너스 기준-based imaging,” said, Chief Innovation Officer and Senior Vice President of the Coherent Aero바카라 보너스 기준 & Defense Business Unit. “We are proud of our successful history in custom and large-format optics and in successfully supplying optical and thermoelectric solutions in over one hundred 바카라 보너스 기준 missions.”

The JWST demonstration mirror will be transferred to the Dis바카라 보너스 기준very Center on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, in a brief ceremony at the39^th바카라 보너스 기준 Symposium.  Attendees are invited to join 바카라 보너스 기준 and the Discovery Center representatives for this ceremony, which will take place at 4:00 p.m. MDT.
