Oh yeah, basically, Webb is a giant FLIR with extreme zoom, hovering somewhere out there in space between the sun and Earth.

In fact, it sits exactly where the gravity from the sun matches the gravity from the Earth, intentionally.
Ever had shaky hands holding the binocs?
Yeah, well, telescope's are a thousand times that over.
That's why it's over there, because it's nice and stable to take good pics.
