I made a GIF blinking JWST's and Hubble's photos of WR-124 and its nebula. That background spiral galaxy in the mid-infrared ("green" ↦ 11.3 μm) isn't visible to Hubble at all.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Super interesting how much difference there is and how much more can be seen with the these newer IR cameras. The Hubble ain't too shabby though.
