✨ A new photo from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the Pillars of Creation — made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope — in vivid detail like never before. Just compare JWST's photo (left) to Hubble's 2014 version. trib.al/UwUhKIV

Alt text from NASA: Webb’s near-infrared image shows the a star-forming region, the Pillars of Creation. The pillars are semi-opaque and rusty red-colored. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of brown and have red outlines. The background is cast in darker blues and blacks, and stars in yellow and white of all sizes speckle the entire scene.

The background is opaque, set off in yellow and green toward the bottom and blue and purple at the top. A handful of stars of various sizes appear.
