minus-squarewuphysics87@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoIt’s science. You learn something regardless
minus-squareRevan343linkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoTitan is far enough out that focal depth doesn’t really factor into it; as far as JWST is concerned it is at infinity. Which does raise the question of why it’s so blurry, though
minus-squareTronn4@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoYou know, upon further self thought, maybe nasal blurred it out because it has human settlements. 🤔
minus-squareessell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI suspect they gathered other data whilst taking the “photo”. This is just the public release element of the work.
