The James Webb Space Telescope can capture a more complete view of galaxies, stars, and planets. Before Webb, astronomers had another workhorse cosmic observatory: the Hubble Space Telescope. Webb is 100 times stronger than Hubble, which allows astronomers to peer even further into space. Webb spied countless galaxies that Hubble missedA side by side collage of the same area taken by the Hubble and the James Webb space telescopes. Where Hubble saw a faint dot, Webb resolved 2 distinct mystery objectsOne of the lensed images of MACS0647-JD, from the James Webb Space Telescope.
In its first 100 days of observation, Webb has captured mind-blowing images, reaching astonishing cosmic distances. Webb captured violent interactions in a star system more than 5,000 light years awayWebb captured a series of 17 concentric dust rings spawned by the Wolf-Rayet 140 binary system. Webb took a 'deep field' image that filled astronomers with wonderThe James Webb Space Telescope's first deep field infrared image, released on July 11, 2022. Webb captured detailed views of the king of our solar system – JupiterWide-field view of Jupiter, captured by Webb. Webb snapped a beauty shot of the Carina NebulaThe star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula, captured in infrared by Webb.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, astronomers catalogued the universe on glass photographic plates. Compared to faint objects stamped on plates, the James Webb Space Telescope's images show dramatic improvements in telescope technology. The exposures were made on glass plates coated with photosensitive emulsions, with astronomers later developing the plates like film in a darkroom. Compared with Webb's infrared images, photographic plates of the same parts of the night sky show how developments in technology led to clearer and deeper views of the cosmos. Webb's clear views of interacting galaxies offer sharper detail than faint glass plate imagesA glass plate image of Stephan's Quintet taken in 1974, left.
The Hubble Space Telescope has also taken Jupiter images, but Webb reveals details Hubble couldn't see. Often described as the successor to Hubble, Webb launched on December 25, 2021, after more than two decades of development. The James Webb Space Telescope image of Jupiter is on the right. Looking at Jupiter in infrared, Webb spots tiny moons Hubble can't pick out as easilyThe Hubble Space Telescope image of Jupiter, left, with its icy moon Europa. Webb gathers light from faraway galaxies that Hubble can't captureThe fuzzy spots in the background of the James Webb Space Telescope's images of Jupiter, right, are galaxies.
