       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

                  Stephan's Quintet from Webb, Hubble, and Subaru

      Explanation: OK, but why can't you combine images from Webb and Hubble?   
      You can, and today's featured image shows one impressive result.   
      Although the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) has a   
      larger mirror than Hubble, it specializes in infrared light and can't   
      see blue -- only up to about orange. Conversely, the Hubble Space   
      Telescope (Hubble) has a smaller mirror than Webb and can't see as far   
      into the infrared as Webb, but can image not only blue light but even   
      ultraviolet. Therefore, Webb and Hubble data can be combined to create   
      images across a wider variety of colors. The featured image of four   
      galaxies from Stephan's Quintet shows Webb images as red and also   
      includes images taken by Japan's ground-based Subaru telescope in   
      Hawaii. Because image data for Webb, Hubble, and Subaru are made freely   
      available, anyone around the world can process it themselves, and even   
      create intriguing and scientifically useful multi-observatory montages.
