You have to realize that these Webb pics are THERMO-GRAPHS not PHOTO-GRAPHS...............

Good point ... I think people don’t fully understand that JWST is an infrared instrument, and its images will look very different from Hubble.

OTOH, from DC to gamma rays, it’s all photons. MIRI uses a helium cooled doped-silicon focal plane array, the others all use MCT FPAs. They’re photon counting devices, fundamentally the same as your pocket camera.

I know that, but they’re not what one would call “beautiful”.
