Danny Wolf writes /var/blog/wolfd, a personal blog at blog.wolfd.me about science and programming. Since 2022, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times. The last post was in 2016, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this page for an interactive slider comparing Hubble and JWST images, with zoom that works on mobile. Commenters use it as a fuller comparison than the animated gif.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Agreed! In the SMACS 0723 image, there is a red spiral galaxy near the top right which is effectively not present in the HST image because it was redshifted out of the spectrum. This implies it's one of the galaxies receding the fastest from us in the image right? And therefore also among the oldest and farthest away? https://blog.wolfd.me/hubble-jwst/

on “Compare Webb's Images to Hubble”Thanks for finding those images! I threw together a page that lets you compare them via a slider. You should be able to zoom in on mobile! https://blog.wolfd.me/hubble-jwst/ The .gif comparison was a bit... upsetting since the color palettes are so limited and the resolution is so low, so it really didn't put JWST _or_ Hubble in a good light.

on “Deepest infrared image of universe”I made this page (posted in another thread yesterday) because I was rather underwhelmed by the .gif. I think the page shows in much better detail the difference between the telescopes' capabilities. https://blog.wolfd.me/hubble-jwst/ (If you're on mobile, you should be able to zoom in and still use the slider)
