Now I am intrigued, the infrared image from Hubble seems to be able to see through even more clouds than JWST! What gives?

- stormbrew 4y agoPut another way: jwst sees both the clouds and (many of) the stars, while Hubble seems to have been able to see one or the other more clearly at a time. You could infer from that that the thing jwst is doing better is having a much greater range of spectrum available to it at a time (though I don't actually know if that's correct).
- loonster 4y agoThe JWST and Hubble have multiple cameras. The Hubble IR image is likely just the IR camera while the JWST is likely a composite of multiple cameras. (This is purely speculation.)
