This is awesome! But you know what would be more awesome? A paper describing this experiment! I will also settle for a video...
Technicians successfully performed a critical test on #NASAWebb's 5-layer sunshield by fully deploying each of its uniquely sized layers to the position they be in while orbiting the Sun a million miles away from Earth.

I had the great fortune of touring this amazing piece of technology last week, and learned that five was the perfect number of layers for the efficiency of the sunshield...four too few and six too many.

It will have to wait, the shield does not pivot independently. Search "jwst field of regard" for details.
