JWST VS Hubble, with a slider comparing each telescope images superimposed.

Webb VS Hubble, matching shots, with a slider to compare each telescope images superimposed.

Go to this website.

https://www.webbcompare.com/

Just click the zoom on that deep-field, go full screen, use the wheel mouse to zoom to full resolution and enjoy moving the Hubble VS web slider and click-drag panning the entire grouped images around!

Hubble, we appreciate all the once great work you have given us.

I anxiously await whats to come with Webb as the current images have only been taken as test images over the first week of it's final calibration.

Gyro:
Strangely, the images give me the layman impression that if they'd turned up the brightness up on the Hubble, the images would look more similar [EDIT: Looking at SMACS 0723].  The other thing I noticed is that a few stars (or are they galaxies?) are much brighter on Hubble and 'ordinary' on the JWST [EDIT: Carina Nebula, just at the top and above the gas cloud at the middle of the image] - IR versus visible sensors?

Yes there is clearly much sharper focus and much more detail in the gas clouds, stunning images.

tom66:
Here is the best I could get by turning up the brightness and contrast on the the Hubble image of the Southern Ring Nebula - there really is no comparison with Webb. There simply is not the detail in the Hubble image as much as you turn the gain up. 

One thing to realise is that Hubble has its 'spectacles' fitted which correct the mirror error (I'm not sure if these perfectly correct the error or not?) and has older sensors, which certainly have reduced dynamic range and higher noise floors compared to newer sensors.

tszaboo:
Someone please fire JJ Abrams, thats way to much lens flare on these newer science fiction movies.

BrianHG:
All the stars with lens flares are really close, IE in the Milky Way galaxy.
Also, stars seen as red in Hubble show as blue in Webb.  Stars which are red as some in orange in Webb are invisible to Hubble.  See around my yellow arrows where I side-by-side shifted these example shots from the website:

Example 1, Webb seeing through clouds:

Example 2, Hubble red seen as blue in Webb, Hubble cant see Webb's orange:

Example 3, Well...  Which version of this galaxy looks better?  Also, can you see the other galaxies behind the current galaxy?
