Why do the stars in the nebula picture look like they have a pattern on them? Have to zoom in on the full res pic.

Edit: I've been informed that this is likely due to the hexagon mirror shape creating a diffraction pattern.

I guess we shouldn't have anything named after 60's era people of significance (or older) because they were racist or abusive or something......
I honestly didnt know who James Webb was (or cared, i just assumed he was some scientist or someone who made a major discovery, not the head of a NASA) cuz i care more about the telescope itself and its findings.
Its cool to see the difference between hubble and JW, its almost like going from bad/compromised vision to wearing glasses lol.
Let's cancel the name America then, because surely the original medieval guy that inspired the name was a misogynist, homophobic and racist guy like everybody from his age were.Nope sorry. But if this is the reality of what he did, then his name is a poor choice. He had a choice as well, he made it and reality is that choice doesn't match with the ideals behind this telescopes mission. Not complicated, not about being woke. It's just about choosing to name things in a way that properly match up with what it is trying to be achieved.
