Side-by-side photos show how much more powerful NASA's new James Webb telescope is than Hubble

The first in a series of images was released by NASA.

The new image gave an unprecedented look at deep space, and was an improvement over similar images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The JWST was launched. It's six times bigger and 100 times more powerful than Hubble.

The image released on Monday shows a huge sweep of space, with more detail than Hubble.

A different spectrum than a conventional camera was captured by it. JWST works quicker than Hubble. The image of deep space was scanned by Hubble for weeks, while the same area was covered by the JWST in less than an hour.

It's easier to see the comparison when you zoom in. The images below show a depiction of a group of galaxies that appeared around 4.5 billion years ago.

How far the light travels from deep space to the telescopes on Earth affects the time frame.

Astronomers are interested in this area of space because of the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, which distorts the light of distant galaxies.

There are examples of the light being distorted by the universe.

In the video below, Mack explains how the lensing works.

The goal is to look deeper into space than before. The first 400 million years after the big bang will be filled by its power.

Outside of our solar system, it will be looking for planets that could host life.

The pictures from theJWST are expected to be released soon.

These zones will be looked at the next time there is a picture.

• Carina Nebula: one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky, approximately 7,600 light-years away, which is a stellar nursery where stars form.
• WASP-96 b (spectrum): WASP-96 b is a giant planet outside of the solar system composed mainly of gas. 
• Southern Ring Nebula: an expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth.
• Stephan's Quintet:  located in the constellation Pegasus, it is the first compact galaxy group ever discovered in 1877, about 290 million light-years away.
