That moment when you get there and they were actually the Pillars of Doom all along

Just sublime. The first image in 1995 then 2014, now this! As a kid first seeing the Eagle nebula image & realising the magnificence of space, well the Webb is making me estatic all over again. All the teams/people behind this should be so proud!

pareidolia lets me see is a group of meercats standing up and looking around for predators

This image is amazing and it stops me in my tracks every time I see it. I am embarrassed to ask though, what am I looking at? Is it solid? Do gasses exist in space?

There's a skull in one of the pillars and it is creeping me out.. it's makes me feel like it is a big death cloud searching for life to eat on. Or entire Galaxies.

Clouds of gas (mostly hydrogen) and dust. Gravity pulls the gas molecules together until it becomes hot and massive enough to trigger nuclear fusion and birth a star. These newborn stars jettison radiation which erodes the surrounding nebula, forming the iconic pillars and wispy billowing clouds.

For me, this is the best phone background ever.

Looks to me like a figure fleeing several others.

Is there a way to have it in a better resolution?

Why are the stars hexagonal? Some result of the lens they used?

When I first saw this image, I thought of a Celestial.

This colouring almost makes me want to title this image: The claw

There probably isn't. MIRI's a much lower-resolution instrument than NIRCam both in general and because of the wavelengths it's looking at, so it's always going to produce smaller images.
