Kidding aside, that's a remarkable picture. Really astounding.

Webb has an electromechanical light valve shutter assembly that lets them block individual pixels, I think that's what you're seeing in that picture.

Imagine, an instrument so sensitive that light from an object 25 light-years away can send some of its pixels (more than one or two!) into nonlinear saturation.
