Two visualizations using Hubble and Webb data. The left image is from visible-light data collected by Hubble. The right visualization is from infrared-light data collected by Webb.

Hubble and Webb Models, Pillars of Creation Visualization

In the Hubble version of the model (left), the pillars feature dark brown opaque dust and bright yellow ionized gas set against a greenish-blue background. The Webb version (right) showcases orange and orange-brown dust that is semi-transparent, with light blue ionized gas against a dark blue background.
