Is James Webb capable of taking a picture of the Pillars of Creation in the exact same spectrum (not using infrared) as Hubble did but in higher resolution?
Every picture I see that Webb re-takes of a Hubble image I am a tiny bit disappointed because I feel that Hubble has more eye appeal for me like if I wanted to hang the image as a poster I’d go with Hubble. I do understand that James Webb is using infrared and getting a lot more data from the pictures.
