Wish they wouldn’t waste Telescope time on nearby (relatively) objects that are not in the focal depth of a multi-million dollar space camera
Titan 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
You know, upon further self thought, maybe nasal blurred it out because it has human settlements. 🤔
It’s science. You learn something regardless
I wonder if the blurriness is a resolution problem or a focus problem, since it’s so close compared to what it’s designed to look at.
Shouldn’t matter — Saturn should be far enough away that it’s effectively infinite.
