Cryogenic Pressure Chamber

This drawing is based on a photo of the Webb telescope in a cryogenic pressure chamber.  One of the many things NASA tested before launch was how the light from simulated stars was imaged, collected and transmitted. The lights are drawn in a way that intensifies their appearance and makes them feel more celestial, while also keeping the photographic qualities of the primary mirror and the reflections of the ceiling, juxtaposing the mundane and exquisite.
