Title: What's wrong with this picture? Webb telescope

It can see stars billions of light years away. So why the farrrkk is this all we can see of a planet it is near?

Hubble took a better pic than that.

Are these guys keeping the good stuff for themselves?

Voyager was a lot closer,
Hubble was using visible wavelengths,
JWST uses infrared wavelengths.
It's like comparing apples to oranges. ::)

A stunning infrared view of the last planet in our solar system shows its rings and moons like never before.

Webb is designed differently than Hubble

Doesn't matter about the technicalites when presenting the images as news.

They look shite, now amazing at all. Even in a different part of the spectrum they are not news worthy.

The detail with Webb is like 4K compared to the HD of Hubble.
