JWST optics makes quite unique diffraction spikes. Not only that there are eight of them, but on full resolution images [1] they have distinct pattern, as if made from separate dashed lines. Are colors of those tiny lines (mostly red here - although this is false-color image) also diffraction artifacts, or do they correspond to actual spectrum of the stars causing them?
