Doesn’t the JJW telescope also capture in IR and needs computer conversations to make visible interpretations to allow our eyes see? Another great newsletter episode! Still trying to figure out and understand why the general public is so fixated on the notion “straight out of the camera”.
“Unlike Hubble, which observes in the near ultraviolet and visible (0.1 to 0.8 μm), and near infrared (0.8–2.5 μm)[14] spectra, Webb observes a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light (red) through mid-infrared (0.6–28.3 μm). “ Wikipedia
Thanks Bryan

I don't know the JJW telescope's specifics, but if it captures IR it'll need some type of a conversion.
Sorry for the diversion but it caught my attention about the need to convert things so our eyes could see things.
