Galaxy Cluster MACS0416 (Webb & Hubble composite)

Hubble and Webb teamed up to create one of the most colorful views of the universe ever, showcasing the galaxy cluster MACS0416 located 4.3 billion light-years away. The image reveals galaxy distances through color - bluer galaxies are relatively nearby with intense star formation best seen by Hubble, while redder galaxies are farther away or dustier, as best detected by Webb. Near the cluster's center, Webb spotted a monstrously bright magnified star nicknamed "Mothra" that's at least 4,000 times brighter than usual due to gravitational lensing.
