Is it supposed to replace Hubble or is an adjunct to it? Different optics, correct?

I just hope they remember to take the lens cap off.

Hubble is an optical telescope. JWST is infrared. Its mirror is much bigger than Hubble’s. It will be able to see the atmospheres of exoplanets so scientists can determine if they host life or even have industrial civilizations.
