- Animated comparison between the Hubble and JWST observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep field. The first image has a caption on the bottom that says, “Hubble UDF (exposure time: 11.3 days)”, while the image on the second has a caption on the bottom that says “Webb (exposure time: 0.83 days)”. The first image shows thousands of galaxies with many different colors. Most are orange and yellow while others are white and blue. Many of these galaxies appear as fuzzy ovals, but others look thin and long or have distinct spiral arms. Within the image is a yellow box, angled about 30 degrees off center, which contains a label on its bottom right that says “Webb’s field of view”. The second image shows a box with the same angle. Inside this box are many of the same galaxies seen in the box on the first image in different colors. The orange galaxies on the first image are white or yellow on the right. There are a few galaxies spread throughout the right image that are clearer than those on the left. (remote)
