A notable visual feature in JWST’s images of N79 Nebula is the appearance of ‘starburst’ patterns around bright objects. These are diffraction spikes, resulting from the hexagonal symmetry of the telescope’s mirror segments. While common in telescopic imagery, they are particularly prominent in JWST’s high-resolution captures of N79, adding both aesthetic beauty and technical curiosity to the observations.
