There's a galaxy out there called the WLM (Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf%E2%80%93Lundmark%E2%80%93Melotte). Definitely a weird name for a galaxy. It won't fit on JWST's detector, so we're seeing just a small piece of it here. This is from data for @[email protected]

Science proceeds regardless of aesthetics, so there are a few gaps... just a few. Here's two separate squares instead of a combined image. There is a cross-shaped gap in the middle of each filled with only 1 filter (grayscale) instead of 4 (color!).

Here's a bonus galaxy called Draco II. It's sparse so it's hard to see the stars in it at all.

Hey look, there's a monolith from an advanced civilization, floating in space!

@seachanged it's right in front of the telescope!

That can't be a coincidence! It must have been there for millions of years, waiting for just this moment!
