Original - Six of the James Webb Space Telescope beryllium mirror segments undergoing a series of cryogenic tests at the X-ray & Cryogenic Facility at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Reason
Very high technical standard image, using specialized filters on the flash to make the industrial sterilized environment of the clean room seem more dynamic and interesting than it would of if it was shot with natural light. This image is taking during the production of the mirrors for the James Webb Space Telescope before the final gold coating and just before the cryogenic testing. This is the second attempt at nomination, the first attempt failed to get the required number of votes.
