Yes, You Are Seeing Double! A James Webb Space Telescope Infrared Image Is At Top Left And Visible Light

Two observations of the galaxy NGC 1512 are split diagonally, with Webb’s observations at top left and Hubble’s at bottom right. The galaxy’s core is centered and circular, with two prominent dust lanes crossing the large diagonal bar structure appearing toward the top left and bottom right. The central bar is blue at top, looking like a gap until a closer examination shows it feeds a larger, oval shape that looks braided with many spiral arms. In Webb’s image, the spiral arms are composed of many filaments in shades of orange. In Hubble’s image the bar is a light pinkish-brown and the spiral arms are a mix of bright blue star clusters and dark brown dust lanes, Click View Description for additional details.

Yes, you are seeing double! A James Webb Space Telescope infrared image is at top left and visible light image from Hubble at bottom right. The resolution is the same—but each show off the gas, dust, and stars in various detail. Explainer: https://webbtelescope.pub/3WCQFSx
