That's somewhat misleading though. It's not really a pixel in that there's much more information available than, basically, 3 integers between 0 and 255. There's 4 instruments on the telescope that collect 4 different chunks of IR spectra, and there's very precise and granular intensity values for light received around any given wavelength. Much more detail than a "pixel" has in the typical sense we use them.
It's not a lot of information, not nearly enough to identify surface features on an exoplanet, but it's very useful data if you're trying to identify likely chemical composition of bodies or how hot clouds of gas are.
