@mark_bril @RileyRalmuto Hubble and Webb data are stored and distributed to the scientific community through MAST, which is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute (Also the science operations center for Hubble and Webb). They also built this application. stsci.edu

@RileyRalmuto I didn't know Hubble or jwst publicly uploaded their images. is this website just a continuously updated compilation of the publicly available images?

holy sh*t. this is hands down the coolest website i have ever found in my life. it's a live feed of the freaking Hubble Telescope AND James Webb Space Telescope. and the resolution is honestly so incredible i didn't think it was real. unbelievable. spacetelescopelive.org

@RileyRalmuto Just to avoid any confusion, the background images you see are coming from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (Near IR) for the Webb observation data and the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (Visible) for the Hubble observation data. This info can be found in the User Guide.
