Very blurry for a powerful telescope. Wonder if it’s because moon is moving fast relative to close telescope so the effective shutter speed needs to be relatively high?
Have we ruled out that the moon might just look like that? Like all fuzzy? How 'bout it, NASA?
It's not the lens.
Titanically baked, blaze new world
JWST primarily looks at very large objects that are far away. Titan (and really everything in the solar system) is relatively close to us, but are tiny in comparison to galaxies/nebulae, so their actual size as they appear in the sky is a lot smaller.
Also of note, most objects in the outer solar system are very dim.
Can't really claim we're all that bright in the inner solar system either.
Must've left his glasses back on Earth
Subtle dig at Hubble, I like it
I would assume it's because the object is too close. Like trying to do macro photography without a macro lense.
It's just mipmaps, high res texture is still loading.
