    Why the blur if the telescope is so powerful?

      Titan is small, and distant, when compared to the photo in the thread.

      The photo in this thread is by Cassini, which was at least a thousand of times closer. Titan is 1.2 million KM from Saturn, which Cassini was orbiting, while Earth, which JWST “orbits” is at least 1.2 billion KM from Saturn.
