“Today, we present humanity with a groundbreaking new view of the cosmos from the James Webb Space Telescope – a view the world has never seen before,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “These images, including the deepest infrared view of our universe that has ever been taken, show us how Webb will help to uncover the answers to questions we don’t even yet know to ask; questions that will help us better understand our universe and humanity’s place within it."
To give you an idea of the difference here is the detail here is The Carina Nebula taken by the James Webb Space Telescope
And the same Nebula taken by the Hubble Telescope.
