The space agencies of the world continue their exploration of the Universe with the help of two well-known telescopes: Hubble D James Webb.

One is the successor of the other, but this does not mean that they cannot do science at the same time, so they fix the same goals in the same way, while emphasizing their own characteristics. The last main character was the Orion Nebula.

Orion as seen by James Webb

Orion Nebula was recently photographed James Webb in an impressive frame showing the importance of a large number of young stars.

For example, in the upper right corner you can see the Trapezoid Cluster and its ultraviolet radiation.

However, it is the Bar of Orion, a massive belt of gas and dust, that gets all the attention. At its center is θ2 Orion A, a star so bright that it can be seen from our planet.

Orion as seen by Hubble

And to see the gap between the generations POT and THIS IS also shared an image of Orion, but in front of the eyes Hubble, who doesn’t want to be in Webb’s shadow.

In addition to having a more outstanding graphical quality in this event, the image Hubble you can see the color change in the space image.

While it also captures Barra, it does so with less precision and volume, even in its central star. It’s because James Webb he is the only one who can see in infrared, allowing him to see through dust and gas to see areas that are forming.
