Not trying to #### on the thread, but I was expecting them to unveil a discovery that would surprise or impress me. OutoftheCube saying it's just a PS5 upscaled view of what we've seen before nails it. Probably why I haven't bothered buying a PS5 yet. It's just not impressive enough for me over the PS4. Yeah, I can clearly see it's better, but not enough to move me at all.
What would have been better? A new discovery a layman could appreciate. A discovery that would change our perception of our place in the universe. I'm not seeing that here. Again, I'm seeing what I already knew - or assumed - was out there.

But you’re not an astronomer… so that kinda adds up. This wasn’t built to impress the layman… so again I don’t understand.
They never said anything about new discoveries yet. They said these are the first images being released. Most have been basically test images vs. Hubble as you’ve seen in comparisons.
