Hank: All bright points of light imaged by Webb will have these eight-pointed stars - six big points like a snowflake and two smaller horizontal points. These are diffraction spikes. They're not a problem for science, as the telescope can be rotated so that the spikes don't occlude a target of interest, but they do look extremely cool and also will forever be an immediate sign that an image is from the Webb.

Hubble, of course, also imaged this area, and now we can show you the transition from Hubble's image, through the NIRCam MIRI composite image, into the pure NIRCam image. And man, I just can't stop looking at this one.
