In the Carina Nebula shots, some of the stars are missing in the Webb shots that were in the Hubble shots, which seems ... odd. Stars don't just disappear.

From wikipedia:
Unlike Hubble, which observes in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared (0.1-1.7 μm) spectra, JWST will observe in a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light (red) through mid-infrared (0.6-28.3 μm).
There is a range in the ultraviolet which JWST doesn't cover but hubble does. Those would be very hot objects. Could explain the missing stars.

Yup, that's a possibility. It's also possible that the original Hubble shot, or the Webb one, was "doctored" to look prettier.

"Of course, these images are just the first few to be released, ushering in what should be decades of stunning sights and discoveries."
Wonder if we'll ever get raw James Webb closeup shots of the Moon ( say of Aristarchus crater) or Mars. I'm betting the answer is, "No".

weren't flat earthers drivelling about there being no proof of gravity?
...there you go, mirrored galaxies caused by light bending around another object
