Just needs to include exposure time differences and this is perfect. Glad to witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle station.
It's my understanding that Webb used much shorter exposure times than Hubble, correct?
I wanna see what this thing is able to do with a 10 days exposure. Let it loose.
Now build a zoomable full-res version. Because I am spoiled and want the internet to do things for me.
Thank you so much!!! I really wanted to see the difference side by side and this was an even better presentation. Really cool!

Great work, it feels smooth and intuitive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
EDIT: It may be caused by both the diffraction spikes from the supports struts and the shape of the mirror and aperture. I'm not really sure. The JWST images also seem to have two additional small spikes that look more like the diffraction pattern from a single strut, which could also be a support strut for a stop further down the optics chain.
