When compared to prior captures of the Orion Nebula, James Webb's true potential as the future of space observation becomes clear.
James Webb continues to wow with the level of detail that astronomers are able to capture with the space telescope. Now, James Webb has captured a new image that when compared with previous images of the same location, shows the true potential of NASA’s newest space telescope.Image source: JWST image: NASA, ESA, CSA, PDRs4All ERS Team; image processing Olivier Berné.

The images are both taken of the heart of the Orion Nebula, a massive birthing ground for stars located just around 1,300 light-years away from Earth. The only difference is that one was taken with the Hubble space telescope, and one was taken using James Webb. We already knew that James Webb’s potential was better than expected. However, seeing its images next to Hubble’s showcases that more.
Both images highlight the Orion Nebula’s inner region and the Orion Bar, which faces the Trapezium Cluster. In James Webb’s image, we’re able to see the details of these nebulous clouds more clearly. Webb’s sensitive infrared instruments also let us peer deeper into the thick dust layers.
