And if you want yet more JWST (and HST, and TESS, and soon NGRST) observation data then MAST makes that 1.6TB look like a pathetic drop in the bucket - JWST alone downlinks ~20 TB per annum, with final data products after groundside processing being many times that. There are no restrictions to sign up, all data outside of the Observer's Exclusive Access Period (i.e. if you have requested and received approval for a dedicated observation you get access to that data exclusively to write your paper, for either 12 months or when you publish, whichever is first, after which it becomes public) is available to download.

I'm actually surprised there isn't more. Meanwhile youtube individuals are posting terabytes of walking videos every year.
