You ask, “what’s obviously better?”
Honest question.
You are not seeing stars from our Milky Way.
This amazing photo shows the universe beyond our galaxy, and perhaps imagine how dense with galaxies the universe might be.

A quadrillion stars sounds like a likely number and the odds for life being all over the place is astronomical.

Hubble takes similar images. If this Webb image is so head-and-shoulders better, they need to compare it to the equivalent Hubble image to show that it is blatantly superior.

What does the raw data look like? It’s infrared telescope, so I assume there ain’t no colors....then the machines on earth assign the colors on a particular chunk of data. Anyone here know the exact process?

It is 100x more powerful than Hubble.
It's like dirt bike vs. Harley.

What if the Aliens figure out that the “Big Guy” just needs his 10% cut.

Why all the discussion about colors? These galaxies do not emit wavelengths we see as “color”. They emit wavelengths that are invisible to our eyes. So we make a particular wavelength blue, another red.

That's what "they" say... show me. Show me the comparison image from Hubble to PROVE it.

If astronomical odds, then we should have had direct, verifiable, mass contact by now. See Fermi paradox. There are many, many explanations for why we CANNOT detect life outside of earth. So many that it is obvious that the only things people agree on is that no life has been detected. Yet everyone seems to insist that there is INDEED life out there. Delusion until proven.
The odds could be astronomical in favor that the earthling is the only one physical lifeform in the whole physical totality of all known or unknown universes. Why not? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

there is still no end to the galaxies...

It will probably NOT be very long before these pictures show galaxies that are >> than 13.8 billion years old.

At first, the NASA story tellers will try to explain it away because these fools have put all their eggs in one basket- one measurement misinterpretation does NOT mean what they think it does.

Major embarrassments to governments and scientists are met with one response: Lies without end.

It's crazy how big space is.

If the sun were the size of a pea, the closest star, Alpha Centauri, would be 117 miles away.

I was playing with a solar system scale calculator I found on-line and scaled the sun down to 1/4" diameter to get this figure.
