JWST vs. HST
A) Better resolution: 270% larger mirror collecting more photons of light
B) Greater visibility: bigger sensitivity to detect objects (with minor overlap in light wavelength)
C) Richer data collection: more instruments on board
D) Shorter life span: expected to operate for 20 years vs. working lifetime of HST till 2040
