Original Note:
This is a lie. Because the telescope and instruments have to be kept cold, Webb’s protective sunshield is blocking the inner solar system from view. This means that the Sun, Earth, Moon, Mercury, and Venus can not be seen by it. https://webb.nasa.gov/content/about/faqs/faqLite.html#:~:text=Because%20the%20telescope%20and%20instruments,Earth%20objects%20cannot%20be%20observed.
