Here is a comparison between the same image on Hubble, and JWST:
And then there were five: NASA releases the rest of Webb’s first images

Absolutely stunning images. These images will be for this generation as Hubble's were for the previous.

The telescope is named after James Webb, who served as NASA administrator during the era of the Apollo moon landings. Earlier this year, NASA administrator Bill Nelson rejected a petition — signed by over 1,200 astronomers and astrophysicists — demanding a change to the telescope’s name amid new revelations about how Webb helped to purge NASA of LGBTQ+ employees as part of federal policy. The petition reads in part, “The historical record is already clear: under Webb’s leadership, queer people were persecuted. Those who would excuse Webb’s failure of leadership cannot simultaneously award him credit for his management of Apollo.”
