The JWST took a picture of a cheek load of galaxies, yet we can’t see pluto very well? The answer is probably super simple lol

Those galaxies are just bigger in the sky from here than Pluto is.
Yes they’re further away then Pluto, but they’re INCREDIBLY larger than Pluto, by more than enough to make up for it.
In ELI5 numbers, it’s like if something was 5x further away, but also 1000x larger, you could still see the farther thing better. **What can you see better, a grain of sand 10 feet away or a car 100 feet away?**
Also, galaxies are emitting their own light and Pluto is a rock, so that doesn’t help.
