A GIF comparing both Hubble and JWST https://i.redd.it/9uyhwijeo0b91.gif https://i.redd.it/9uyhwijeo0b91.gif

  I made this page (posted in another thread yesterday) because I was rather underwhelmed by the .gif. I think the page shows in much better detail the difference between the telescopes' capabilities. https://blog.wolfd.me/hubble-jwst/ https://blog.wolfd.me/hubble-jwst/ (If you're on mobile, you should be able to zoom in and still use the slider)

    Interested in adding the Carina Nebula comparison? I'm crop-aligning the full resolution images rn and will have them in a bit Edit: btw you should add the ability to zoom on desktop too. Would make it a lot easier to see the massive difference between the two

  The additional detail of the red spiral galaxy around 12:30 is stark by comparison to others. Any ideas on why?

    The reddest objects in the JWST are frequently not even present in the Hubble image, as they were redshifted into a band of light Hubble couldn't even detect. That's my favorite part about this image - those galaxies we can now see which were previously redshifted beyond our capacity to detect. They're the oldest, and receding from us the fastest.
