In the first days of 2022, humanity's most ambitious eye on the cosmos completed its unfolding some 930,000 miles from Earth — but the act of opening is not the same as the act of seeing. The James Webb Space Telescope now faces months of painstaking alignment, a process of coaxing eighteen separate mirrors into a single, unified instrument capable of peering through cosmic dust to the universe's earliest light. It is a reminder that great vision, whether human or mechanical, is never simply switched on — it must be earned through patience, precision, and the willingness to begin with blurry i
