JWST has been called the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, but that's not accurate. While Hubble can be seen in the near-infrared, optical, and ultraviolet, Webb sees much deeper into the infrared spectrum. Their true strength comes when they work as a team, observing the same objects from their different perspectives. NASA is planning on winding down Hubble over the next decade, but according to a new paper, that would sacrifice a tremendous amount of science.
