    People saying this is blurry… have you considered: every other image is stitched, edited, overlaid and colorized, whereas this is a picture that’s actually quite close to that from the camera of JWST.

      JWST doesn’t see visible light, so it’s blurry and false color.

      But JWST also wasn’t designed to take pictures of moons in our solar system, it was designed to take picture of the cosmic background and find stars with planets around them.

      This is like trying to use a telescope to look at your globe across the living room, it’s going to be blurry because it wasn’t designed for that.
