What are the differences between Hubble and JWST?<\/h2>\n

James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to Hubble on paper. However, Webb is not a replacement for the older Hubble. The main difference between images captured by each telescope is the wavelength range observed. Hubble can see in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared range. JWST focuses on the near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. Both create epic shots.<\/p>\n

This means Hubble can capture light the same way see it. JWST cannot do this but can see light that has come from further distances. Because of this, JWST can see light from older galaxies and stars closer to the universe\u2019s beginning. The downside is that the color you see from JWST images is not exactly accurate. Meanwhile, Hubble images are accurate in many cases.<\/p>\n

Below are each of Webb\u2019s \u201cfirst images\u201d released between July 11 and July 12, 2022, compared to a similar image from Hubble. For each section, Hubble\u2019s photos are on the left (before), and JWST\u2019s are on the right (after).<\/p>\n
