The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy.As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. [9]

Scale comparison between the primary mirrors of the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and the proposed LUVOIR-B and LUVOIR-A. Selected large telescopes which are in detailed design or pre-construction phases: Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR), a proposed space telescope for launch in the mid 2030s.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was actually the first to observe Firefly Sparkle within the galaxy cluster known as MACS J1423, but Webb was able to see it in greater detail, finding seven ...
A panorama of colliding galaxy clusters glimmers in a new image, captured by the combined forces of the two most powerful space observatories ever created. The cosmic phenomenon, called MACS0416 ...
To some astronomers, the galaxy looks like a penguin or a porpoise. [5] NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and PGC 1237172 are included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 142 in the category "Galaxy triplet". On 20 June 2013, the Hubble Space Telescope examined and photographed NGC 2936. [5] NGC 2936 once had a flat, spiral disk. The orbits of the ...
Studying X-ray and gamma-ray objects with Hubble, as well as Chandra and Compton, gives accurate size and positional data. In particular, Hubble's resolution can often discern whether the target is a standalone object, or part of a parent galaxy, and if a bright object is in the nucleus, arms, or halo of a spiral galaxy. Similarly, the smaller ...
