Can we go back to talking about the TELESCOPE? I liked that better
Seconded, take all this other crap to P&R.

Technically yes, closer and tons more resolution but remember that JW is an infrared scope unlike Hubble that looked at visible spectrum.

Yes it's long and if you've been following the minutia it glosses over a lot but if anyone wants an hour long summary of the history (yes it even has a blurb about *that*) here you go. I didn't even know it was down here during Hurricane Harvey and if the power went out the thing would've heated up so fast it would've been really bad news (it was down in Houston in a huge chamber that took it 30 days to cool it down to operating temperature). Lots of happy footages of the command center as each major milestone is crossed. They obviously had the images before the embargo.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. Webb’s powerful infrared gaze produced this detailed image of the Cartwheel and two smaller companion galaxies against a backdrop of many other galaxies. This image provides a new view of how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years.

So the cartwheel galaxy...is either a boob or an implant....
It should be renamed the silicon galaxy.
Its pretty amazing to know that if humans were within that cluster, they'd just be a microscopic particle (or even smaller...) within the very microscopic center of the galaxy.

Webb’s new view of the Pillars of Creation, which were first made famous when imaged by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, will help researchers revamp their models of star formation by identifying far more precise counts of newly formed stars, along with the quantities of gas and dust in the region. Over time, they will begin to build a clearer understanding of how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years.

Awesome pictures!

This was captured a while ago, dunno if it was released previously but for some reason science news is just reporting it now (or again for some reason)

It's already been a year since JWST became operational!
