Translation: Photo of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun, located 4.2 light-years from us.
It was taken by JWST.
This level of detail, a new world unveils itself day after day.

Jupiter in infrared looks like a cat's eye marble.

“We hadn’t really expected it to be this good, to be honest,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, professor emerita of the University of California, Berkeley. De Pater led the observations of Jupiter with Thierry Fouchet, a professor at the Paris Observatory, as part of an international collaboration for Webb’s Early Release Science program. Webb itself is an international mission led by NASA with its partners ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). “It’s really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites, and even galaxies in one image,” she said.

Are they going to be able to collect data of the Trappist system or Ross 128 with the JWST?

We need more shots of Uranus (Sorry juvenile humor)

I would imagine they'll take a look at just about every system with known exoplanets they think could harbor life.

That's a different kind of probe.

I know Webb takes images differently, but how detailed can the images be? Not impressed unless it read the license plates on a UFO.

It's resolution is about the same as Hubble's, though it can see much further into the infrared.
https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/ab...0arc%2Dseconds).

Webb's angular resolution, or sharpness of vision, will be the same as Hubble's, but in the near infrared. This means that Webb images will appear just as sharp as Hubble's do.
Webb will have an angular resolution of somewhat better than 0.1 arc-seconds at a wavelength of 2 micrometers (one degree = 60 arc-minutes = 3600 arc-seconds). Seeing at a resolution of 0.1 arc-second means that Webb could see details the size of a US penny at a distance of about 24 miles (40 km), or a regulation soccer ball at a distance of 340 miles (550 km).

This might be a noob opinion but I feel like these telescopes and probes (like Voyager) do more for science than moon or Mars landings.
Why doesn't NASA send out more telescopes and probes on a regular basis to get more information from different parts of the galaxy/universe?
