Btrfs-progs v6.13[edit | edit source]

A side-by-side comparison of two telescope images of the NGC 346 star cluster. The left image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows a bright blue nebula with a dense cluster of stars scattered throughout. Wisps of gas and dust appear illuminated, giving the image a soft, glowing effect. The right image, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope in infrared light, reveals a darker scene with more intricate structures. The nebula is less visible, replaced by delicate, glowing filaments of gas in shades of red, orange, and purple. More stars are visible in the Webb image, as its infrared view penetrates the surrounding dust. Both images depict a dense star field set against the dark background of space.
This side-by-side comparison shows a Hubble image of the massive star cluster NGC 346 (left) versus a Webb image of the same cluster (right). While the Hubble image shows more nebulosity, the Webb image pierces through those clouds to reveal more of the cluster's structure. CREDIT: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Olivia C.
