Does someone have any intuitive explanation on why Hubble images for bright stars seem to have a cross-shaped lens-flare effect, while for JWT it's got six spikes?
It might be because of a different post-processing algorithm, or some phi-related magic, just curious a bit.
This was my guess as well, but if it's correct, I don't understand why the Hubble images show 4 spikes. I thought Hubble's main mirror was circular, not a square.
