NIRCam is capable of taking images of the 18 primary mirror segments, and it generated the selfie for engineering and alignment purposes, NASA said on its blog Friday (Feb. 11).

NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) is one of four science instruments on board Webb. Responsible for doing a lot of the cutting-edge science, NIRCam can detect infrared light from the earliest stars ...

NIRCam’s resolution is able to detect tiny knots of gas, comprised of sulfur, oxygen, argon and neon from the star itself.

A new high-definition image from the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) reveals intricate details of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), and shows the expanding shell ...

Jupiter has rings! Jupiter and some of its moons—and its rings—are seen through NIRCam’s 3.23 micron filter. NASA, ESA, CSA, and B. Holler and J. Stansberry (STScI) ...

Webb’s latest challenge was a trial run of the Near Infrared Camera, or NIRCam, identifying dots of starlight from the same star in each of the 18 hexagonal segments of its massive mirror.

The NIRCam also was responsible for the first of the series of images publicly revealed Monday, July 11: A collection of glittering stars in the SMACS 0723 galaxy cluster.
