Yes, you're right, for that particular nebula. Of course there are other nearby objects that are interesting in that spectral range. But MIRI really shines when it comes to distant galaxies whose light is so far redshifted that it shows up as deep infrared.


Yes, but even then you can answer the question of what it would look like to the human eye if transported closer and/or back in time.

They would look different, have different colors and features. Galaxies would look more like andromeda as viewed via telescope.


What I wouldn't give for a first person view from a planet around a double star... oh well.
