Isn’t the JWST 1000000kms from the Hubble telescope. What you see is a million kilometres view angle difference also. Actually happy, gives us a different view

And we're taking photos of things 63,000,000,000,000,000 km away, so the viewing angle is almost exactly the same.

edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/ygq9yq/pillars_of_creation_scale/ this explains pretty well why the distance between Hubbel and JWST makes no difference to the angle in photographing thing this far away.

You mean quoting? It's so that when there are lots of replies to a comment and then replies to those replies someone reading this comment knows what's it's in reference to.
