Webb is far more ambitious than Hubble. Incredible in many ways.

Does this replace the Hubble telescope (...) Ignoring the joke and using this as an excuse to clarify: The JWST is supposed to supplant Hubble, not replace it. Webb is just an infrared device, compared to the multispectral (infrared-optical-ultraviolet) device that Hubble is.

No, they are completely different instruments.
