The Webb Telescope caused quite a bit of hype in the past few weeks, thanks to its amazing clarity with which it captured a small piece of the cosmos.
When NASA made the big reveal of the images the Internet went crazy and it was completely justified, as the pictures show a never-before-seen aspect of our universe.
Compared to the previous Hubble Telescope, which was launched in 1990, the Webb Telescope can capture mode details and provide a sharp image. Even though the Hubble Telescope is still operational, from the picture attached it can be clearly seen how technology has evolved over the years and what is the true power of the Webb Telescope.
Most people think that the Webb Telescope was developed to replace the previously used Hubble, but the latter is still here to stay and will remain operational for a long period of time.

But this area, which gives birth to many stars, bursts with new detail thanks to Webb Telescope’s near-infrared camera.
