Selfie photo shows damage of the C3 mirror from the May micrometeroid strike.
While it looks like a lot of damage it really isn't, because of mirror realignments the performance is basically un-affected, however, engineers are keeping an eye on potential future dust-generating events such as in 2023 and 2024, when Webb is expected to fly through particles left behind by Halley's Comet.
Make you wonder why they didn't give it the ability to fold the mirrors up or even a pop up shield when they know danger is approaching.
