Webb appears as a dot in the Gaia image. “On 18 February 2022, the two spacecraft were 1 million km [about 620,000 miles] apart, with an edge-on view of Gaia towards Webb’s huge sunshield,” ESA said in a statement. “Very little reflected sunlight came Gaia’s way, and Webb therefore appears as a tiny, faint spec of light in Gaia’s two telescopes without any details visible.”
