The unique geometry of the James Webb Space Telescope produces 8 point diffraction spikes around bright stars. This characteristic pattern is a tell-tale mark of JWST images and makes for an attractive holiday ornament!
Looks great printed in silk PLA. The hole is just large enough for fishing line (for stringing many together) and serves as a guide for drilling a hole for larger strings.
