What are the differences between the Webb and Hubble space telescopes?

2021-12-20 – The Webb and Hubble telescopes are different, but they complement each other in several ways. The two missions have a planned overlap and will work together on new discoveries.

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a great impact on our understanding of the universe and the public's interest in astronomy. It has allowed us to peer further into space than ever before, take breathtakingly detailed images of planets and galaxies, and solve many of the universe's great mysteries.

The James Webb Space Telescope will be Hubble's successor, but not its replacement. Webb will build on Hubble's impressive legacy by helping humanity peer even deeper into the universe.
