sure the world might be ending but look at the pictures of the universe that the james webb telescope took

For a while now I've been wanting to try painting over the Pillars of Creation photo taken by the Webb telescope.

When I was a kid I thought the earlier version looked like a bunch of dragons racing to the sky, and I think the new pic looks even more like it, so, here they are~

For reference, same crop of the photo down here:

JWST identifies three tiny free-floating brown dwarfs in the star cluster IC 348: objects too small to be stars but larger than most planets

Webb Space Telescope + the Hubble Space Telescope = gold!

This image of galaxy cluster MACS0416 combines visible and infrared light to create one of the most colorful views of the universe.

Love this image from the James Web Telescope. Even the universe is questioning things. That or it is a Riddler fan.

NGC 1566 (Hubble + Webb)

Face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 1566, is split diagonally in this image: The James Webb Space Telescope’s observations appear on bottom right, and the Hubble Space Telescope’s at top left. Webb and Hubble’s images show a striking contrast, an inverse of darkness and light. Why? Webb’s observations combine near- and mid-infrared light and Hubble’s showcase visible and ultraviolet light. Dust absorbs ultraviolet and visible light, and then re-emits it in the infrared. In Webb's images, we see dust glowing in infrared light. In Hubble’s images, dark regions are where starlight is absorbed by dust. 

In Webb’s high-resolution infrared images, the gas and dust stand out in stark shades of orange and red, and show finer spiral shapes with the appearance of jagged edges, though these areas are still diffuse. 

In Hubble’s images, the gas and dust show up as hazy dark brown lanes, following the same spiral shapes. Its images are about the same resolution as Webb’s, but the gas and dust obscure a lot of the smaller-scale star formation.

[Image description: Two observations of the galaxy NGC 1566 are split diagonally, with Hubble’s observations at top left and Webb’s at bottom right. The galaxy’s core appears centered and the galaxy’s arms rotate counterclockwise. In Hubble’s image, two prominent spiral arms are a mix of dark brown dust lanes and some bright blue and pink star clusters, and the center is pale yellow. In Webb’s image, the spiral arms are shades of orange, with prominent dark gray or black “bubbles,” and there is a blue haze surrounding the core.]
