James Webb first images – complete set of high resolution shots now live

Is there an easy way to just scroll through the images?

the Southern Ring Nebula (MIRI Image) is bizarrely very low res?

I kinda love this comment. It highlights the absurd dichotomy between what "experts" see and what "lay people" see when they look at the same thing.

Parent just wants to see some cool images from Earth's latest and greatest space telescope, preferably in a convenient way.

Astrophysicists from NASA, ESA, et al. are hanging off the data and details from every last photon collected - each one having traveled billions of years from their origin deep in the past of our universe.

With every point of light in the images, the instruments on Webb and associated computer analysis here on earth analyze each facet of the spectra, inferring the chemical composition of galaxies we may have never even seen before as a species - calculating how much spacetime expanded in the long and lonely journey of those photons hurtling through our universe for billions of years, path bent by warping gravity fields, colliding and remitting from galactic dust to finally arrive at a superchilled mirror segment more than a million miles from earth.

But hey, can we just get a scrollable feed of these in a web-optimized image format?

[ edit: I guess it wasn't clear -- I genuinely love the question. I'm not being sarcastic. YES obviously people want to look at the images and get excited from press release - YES obviously scientists are using a different data stream and not the press release site. What's really cool is that the same origin (12.5 hours of observing a tiny spec of sky) can be used for both. And genuinely the absurd dichotomy is funny, and cool. I guess there's so much sneering elitism on HN that it's easy to get lumped into the same boat. ]

This is a press release website. The scientists interested in every individual photon aren’t browsing this site or anything like it to find their data. The entire point of this site is to look cool and generate excitement, so yes, it should be scrollable and web-optimized.

A lot of the pictures have some bright stars with 6 long lens flare like points coming out of them in a consistent pattern. Is that because of the hexagonal shape of JWT's lenses/mirrors?
