The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is easily one of the most advanced devices ever created by humans, bridging a gap between the macroscopic and quantum worlds in terms of how accurately we can align mirrors. It is the product of exhaustive testing, countless innovations, and the international collaboration between 1000’s of people working tirelessly for more than 20 years. In this talk we discuss the physics of image-based wavefront sensing: one of the core technologies that was utilized to complete the final alignment of the segmented mirror.
