This isn’t an Instagram device. Cooler discovery’s will likely come from professionals studying the data provided by this scientific instrument…

I was expecting cooler as well. This is higher-res than what we've seen before, but it honestly - to my untrained eye - doesn't look like anything I haven't seen before. K, galaxies are swirly. Yeah, I knew that. There are a bazillion blobs of galaxies, nebulas, etc. in parts of space that look black from my backyard. Yeah, I knew that.
I'm super stoked astronomers are going to learn so much and it's great we have this, but I'm not blown away. I swear I saw a picture of what they just showed us on a poster in Spencer Gifts like four years ago.
