Incredible! These are like the old Hubble shots of galaxies by how blurry they are - but these are freaking planets!!!!

The next thing after Webb is gonna be ridiculous.
Those will like be the Nancy Grace Roman and LUVOIR space telescopes.
Yeah, that 2039 date projection for LUVOIR is awful. Especially considering that it will almost certainly be pushed back a few years.
I'd love to see something that big happen though.
I'm so fucking pumped about the Roman telescope
I've taken photos of Jupiter that are blurrier than this 😫
You are looking at actual images of planets from another solar system… I just think that’s neat!
That's a trip. I keep having that moment with the JWST where I think okay, now I get the hype and then it surprises me again.
I saw the image embedded in one of the comments here before hut somehow didn't realize the gravity of it until this thread
I, too, think that is neat!
Who knows, maybe on one of them there are people, and maybe they put the dumbest one of them in charge, and now everyone is having a terrible time.
That's really awesome! I'm impressed that JWST's coronagraph was able to block out the star's light so completely.
It’s incredible!!
