TL;DR

NASA's James Webb space telescope has captured a new photo of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), a region of space found within the Fornax constellation. Webb's view of the HUDF hasn't necessarily led to a huge discovery of new galaxies, as the new telescope viewed the region at a depth similar to that of Hubble. However, it managed to capture the photo of the HUDF in one-tenth of the observing time that Hubble took. Astronomers say that Webb's photo of the HUDF allows us to view hot, ionized gas, which allows us to pinpoint exactly where new star formation is taking place.
