odd that it can pick up light from the universe's placenta but can't get a good shot of that kid down the street
remember that JWST doesn't do visible spectrum and, regardless, it's specialized for faint distant objects. From JWST's perspective, Titan emits a lot of light. It's kind of like using a telephoto lens to take a picture of your foot.
People in general don't understand focal length and spectrums. It's just oooh 400x zoom, fancy, let's see atoms.
