The mission of the JWST is gaining traction. M74 was imaged with the telescope's Mid-Infrared instrument. A well-known amateur astronomer has worked on an image to bring out more detail.
In the vicinity of 100 billion stars is M74, a spiral galaxy. It is about 32 million light-years away from us, and is a great example of a spiral galaxy. As part of the PHANG Survey, the JWST imaged the universe. The aim of PHANG is to understand the interplay of the small-scale physics of gas and star formation with the structure and evolution of the universe.
The survey uses several telescopes, but now that the JWST is operating, it's making a huge contribution to the effort
One of the rare people who looks at an amazing image from the JWST and thinks, "Hmmmm...Not bad, but I can improve it." is JudySchmidt, who is a member of the Planetary Society. We don't mean to speak for her, but we are just joking. It does speak to her rare skills.
In the image description on Judy's Flickr page, she writes, "Squeezing some color out of the various filters showing all the glowing dust in the center of NGC 628."
The filters are listed.
If you want to understand the impact the JWST is having, compare a Hubble image of M74 to Judy's processing image. The Advanced Camera for Surveys was used to take the Hubble image.
R. Chandra and J. Miller are from the University of Toledo and the University of Michigan, respectively.

There is a very processed version of Jupiter. The ring on the planet is plain for all to see, and it is only visible in the direction of the sun. The colors aren't normal.
The red blip at the south pole and the disconnected layer of atmosphere on the eastern limb are topics of discussion. Do you mean real? Is there artifacts? We will wait for the scientists to figure it out but I think it is real.
