The next space telescope, James Webb, will see even further than this, if my memory is correct.

That very well may be true, but isn't that telescope only going to be sensitive to the infrared spectrum? I'm not sure if we'll get the same spectacular pictures with Webb as we get with Hubble.

I also remember reading that Webb will in orbit about a million miles from Earth. I'm not sure where Hubble is, but a million miles seems like a long way away.
