The shot from the Spitzer, on the left, reveals the high quality of Webb and its capabilities.
“It’s not until you actually see the kind of image that it delivers that you really internalize and go, ‘Wow!'” said University of Arizona’s Marcia Rieke, chief scientist for Webb’s near-infrared camera, per the Associated Press. “Just think of what we’re going to learn.”
In September 2022, an image captured by Webb featured the — and it made headlines.
The region was seen in a new light. According to CBS News, the Webb captured thousands of never-before-seen young stars in the Tarantula Nebula.
Mid-infrared light from the Webb captured the heart of the Tarantula Nebula in this photo.
“Webb has already begun revealing a universe never seen before, and is only getting started on rewriting the stellar creation story,” NASA said.
In this image you can see Hubble and Webb working together.
The image of the galaxy to the left is from Hubble. The telegram database Webb version, to the far right, appears noticeably different.
The image in the center combines the two for a mesmerizing look at the spiral galaxy.
This photo shows Webb in the black night sky on the very day it launched on Dec. 25, 2021.

The Webb delivered its first fascinating image of the cosmos shortly after launching in 2021.
In April, NASA released a record-breaking image.
Nicknamed “Earendel,” it offers a glimpse of the most distant single star that Hubble has discovered to date.
