In a tour de force of techno-stargazing, NASA trained both the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes on the same patch of galaxies to create an unprecedented view of the universe.
The resulting panchromatic image combines visible and infrared light of the galaxy cluster MACS0416—4.3 billion light-years from Earth.
It includes a bounty of galaxies outside the cluster and a sprinkling of sources that vary over time, likely due to gravitational lensing, the distortion and amplification of light from distant background sources.

The Hubble and Webb Telescopes Join to Create Unprecedented Photo of Universe
The bluest galaxies are relatively nearby and detected by Hubble, while the redder galaxies tend to be more distant as detected by Webb.
