James Webb space telescope takes up station a million miles from Earth

$10bn observatory manoeuvred into position at four times the orbit of the moon, with first images expected in June

The world's largest and most powerful space telescope has reached its final destination - an observation post one million miles away from Earth.

Nasa's $10bn James Webb space telescope launched on Christmas Day last year from French Guiana on a quest to behold the dawn of the universe. Due to its sheer size, Webb had to launch folded inside the Ariane 5, a European rocket.
