Instrument: NIRCAM
Target: Saturn-Centre
Time: 2023-06-24 (not a new release)
Filter: F322W2-F323N, F212 (partially reconstructed)
PI: Leigh Fletcher ID: 1247
In this JWST image, Saturn appears as a pale-gold sphere with faint horizontal bands, encircled by a bright, thin oval ring. Three tiny white points to the lower left represent the satellites Dione, Enceladus and Tethys against the black background.

Deimos before dawn | Perseverance Navcam Left | Sol 1433 - From Simeon Schmauß (stim3on.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2r6neAK
NASA’s Perseverance rover captured this view of Deimos, the smaller of Mars’ two moons, shining in the sky at 4:27 a.m. local time on March 1, 2025, the 1,433rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. In the dark before dawn, the rover’s left navigation camera used its maximum long-exposure time of 3.28 seconds for each of 16 individual shots, all of which were combined onboard the camera into a single image that was later sent to Earth. In total, the image represents an exposure time of about 52 seconds. The sun was about 13° below the horizon when this image was captured. The raw image was corrected for bias using an exposure taken earlier in that night. Remaining line noise was corrected using a custom filter and hot pixels (likely from radiation hits) were removed. The image was then debayered, denoised and color processed to approximate what the human eye would have seen if it was sensitive enough. Finally, this version was also corrected for lens distortion and leveled for the horizon. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

Introduce yourself with four spaceships.
Stereographic projection of a selfie captured by the Perseverance mars rover. The rover is standing on the slopes of the outer rim of Jezero crater, facing Nili planum, a mostly flat landscape ouside the crater with small hills. A core hole is visible in front of the rover from the last coring operation. The old, meandering, sand covered river bed of Neretva Vallis is visible in the distance on the left, and a whiteish dust devil can be seen inside it.

The Sun eclipsed by Earth as seen by the returning Apollo 12 crew. This colorization of a B&W photo suggests how a composite made from different exposures might have appeared if they hadn't run out of color Hasselblad film. Hopefully one day this sight will be captured with capable color cameras.
This photo shows the Sun being eclipsed by Earth as seen by the returning Apollo 12 crew. It was colorized atop a B&W photo and shows the colors reported by the crew at the time as well as those marginally recorded on 16mm film. Note the compressed Sun reflection recording its flattening by the refraction of Earths atmosphere.

I am not sure this work is better than my bot's, but I did try to integrate all NIRCam data. I had to compromise the resolution, it was too much for my laptop to handle in full scale.
JWST 🔭: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI.
A richly detailed infrared view of the star-forming complex N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The frame is filled with thousands of tiny white and blue stars scattered across a dark field. Toward the center and right, large cloudy structures of gas and dust glow in shades of soft gray, blue, and warm orange. Filamentary wisps weave through the scene, outlining bubbles and cavities carved by stellar winds. Brighter knots of light mark young, newly forming stars embedded within the nebula. The overall appearance is a sprawling, textured landscape of turbulent interstellar material illuminated against the star-studded background
