The telescope tracked the asteroid 6841 Tenzing from the main belt. There were no special tasks for the observatory, therefore, the sources do not publish any data. The main task of the telescope was precisely tracking the object. The bottom line is that, in general, “James Webb” was created to observe very remote objects. The telescope should allow astronomers to look as far into the vastness of the universe and as far back in time as no other instrument has allowed.
But the design of “James Webb” is such that it allows him to monitor objects that are very close by cosmic standards. This is exactly what the telescope team tested by tracking the asteroid.
