'We got more than we bargained for by combining data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope!'

When astronomers combine the observational powers of James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope, they capture more detailed portraits of the cosmos.

"We got more than we bargained for by combining data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope!" wrote Webb interdisciplinary scientist Rogier Windhorst for NASA's Webb blog. Scientists selected the galactic pair from nearly 2,000 candidates identified by Galaxy Zoo citizen science volunteers. These small galaxies, which appear to be very close together, aren't actually interacting with one another, but they allow researchers to trace and compare galactic dust.

Scientists used the same technique for Webb's first image released in July. The space telescope"delivered the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date," according to NASA.
