Hubble (top left) and James Webb Space Telescope (top right). The middle portion of the image shows the relative location of the telescopes to earth and the moon. Webb will launch much further into space. At the bottom of the image, the spectrum of light observed by both Hubble and Webb is shown, with Webb’s capabilities stretching further into the infrared range, past Hubble’s capabilities.
