Thank you so much to be that many following me here! To celebrate that milestone, here's the processed image of an observation of the NGC-3256 galaxy, an old merger, by Hubble! ðŸ”
This observation was made in 2005, almost 20 years ago (when I was only 8...)

bigger better stronger able to look further back
JWST already can look back until a time where the universe was still ionized meaning so hot that stars were no warmer than the background radiation, therefore indistinguishable
Essentially a true successor to Hubble as JWST is more of a infra-red telescope like Spitzer.
with the advent of starship at 9-meter diameter the size limit has grown
some close ups of exoplanets will be interesting
thanks for the reply and detailed explanation
We also have other great telescopes coming online. Nancy Grace Roman is gonna launch in 27 and will with Euclid help us understand Dark Energy & Dark Matter.
Also the Vera Ruben Observatory will come online soon.
Exciting times for Astronomy tbh.
