NASA's Webb, Hubble Combine to Create Most Colorful View of Universe



The result: A vivid landscape of galaxies along with more than a dozen newfound, time-varying objects.

When two flagship observatories unite, they reveal a wealth of new details only possible through their combined power.

Their combined data yields a prismatic panorama of blues and reds – colors that give clues to the distances of the galaxies. While the image itself is stunning, researchers are already using these observations to fuel new scientific discoveries, including the identification of gravitationally magnified supernovae and otherwise-invisible, ordinary stars.
