I’m watching now. They are trying to do a worldwide thing by having video hookups to other space agencies, but it often doesn’t work. So they can get images from a million miles away, but they can’t connect to Canada ?!
It was interesting to see how images of the same group of galaxies taken with different instruments were so different.
They’re still making the mistake of not comparing it to Hubble. We’ve all seen really beautiful Hubble images, so it’s hard for us to put this into context. They should really do more “this is what the Hubble sees” and “This is what Webb sees” to really show it off.
They must have heard you, Beef, as they did exactly that for the final image 
Full resolution images and more info can be found here.

)
When they said we’d get an image of the Carina Nebula, I was hoping they meant this part, which I’d bet looks damned cool in IR.
Huh. I clicked on the Carina " NIRCam and MIRI Composite Image", and got something decidedly not full res. Or I’d really hope full res has more res than 1280 × 720.
There are links to the full res images on each page.

Ah, ok. Muuuuch better!
e.g. the composite Carina nebula png is here and glorious.
(well, I wish they’d nuke the infographics in and around the image. Ick)
Here is the Cosmic Cliffs image, full huuuge res minus infographics. Warning: 124mb
That’s eta Carina, which is not the same thing as the Carina Nebula. Though it will surely also be an eventual target of Webb, since it’s an extremely interesting object.
Good that they have the images available both with and without the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was. The plain images are the most spectacular, but the annotated ones have interesting informational value.
Sure, but it’s in the Carina Nebula, so I was hopin’!
…Huh, so it is. I did not know that; I assumed that both, despite happening to be in the direction of the same constellation, were widely-separated.
I know thy seas are very very wide, and the ship in truth is small
And those who dwell within her hide, I care for, one and all
Their safety rests upon my skill, their lives are in my hand
I take it for a sacred trust, and they rarely understand

Someone on reddit made a great tool that allows you to slide back and forth to compare Webb and Hubble images:

Cool! I’ve noticed the black spots in the close-by stars’ centers have been edited out.
When I read about the Total Perspective Vortex my impression was that Douglas Adams hadn’t gone nearly far enough in describing the insignificance of any individual.
But …
Some while back my daughter sent me this video taken from the ISS because she thought I would be interested in what the aurora looks like from above (which was true). Then I happened to look up while watching it, and it struck me as never before that however insignificant we may be, we are part of something vast, transcendent and heartbreakingly beautiful. The Webb images do nothing but confirm that impression.
The more I look at those images and consider their significance, the more impressed I am. The JWST is truly a worthy successor to Hubble. And it’s just barely getting started.
