Amazing photos of an open star cluster with a nebula. Compare Hubble and Webb telescope images

The Hubble and Webb telescopes, two icons among space telescopes, differ in many ways. It is mainly the observed part of the spectrum – while Hubble works with visible light, Webb focuses on infrared radiation. Therefore, each of them adds a slightly different perspective to the overall mosaic, and scientists can thus better understand the observed objects.
