The static image is generated server side, using Jmol if a JVM is installed on the server or Tachyon if the JVM is unavailable. The Jmol image is more complete, so we should recommend that a JVM be installed on the server,but it is not necessary.
Note, that if you are on a device that does not have Java, you now at least get an static image. My next move is to replace the static image with the option for a spinning .gif. However, let's get this in.
