After working at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, Webb returned to Oxford as a research fellow in physics at the Clarendon Laboratory in 1968, and was appointed to a university lectureship in 1971, becoming reader in 1990 and professor in 1992. He served as head of Atomic and Laser Physics from 1995 to 1999, and became an emeritus ...
The Webb telescope uses 132 small actuation motors to position and adjust the optics. [39] The actuators can position the mirror with 10 nanometer accuracy. [40] Webb's optical design is a three-mirror anastigmat, [41] which makes use of curved secondary and tertiary mirrors to deliver images that are free from optical aberrations over a wide ...

Stephen Webb (born February 25, 1963) is a physicist and author of numerous popular science and math books, as well as academic publications. Webb was educated at Bristol University (BSc (Hons) Physics – First Class) and, as a graduate student, attended Manchester University (PhD – Theoretical Particle Physics).
The Pioneer Anomaly.This discusses the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes, which appear to be veering off course and drifting towards the sun. At the time of writing of the book there was a growing speculation as to whether this phenomenon could be explained by a yet-undetermined fault in the rockets' systems or whether this was an unidentified effect of gravity.
