The pictures are cool. I watched a quick video last night explaining what we were seeing. They talked a bit about gravitational lensing and how it stretches the images of the galaxies and how two streaks on either side of the cluster could actually be the same galaxy.
Images are not what I am excited about. Even learning about the early formation of galaxies is interesting, but not what I am looking forward to. What I really want to see is the spectrum data from exoplanets. I want to know if any of the water planets in the Trappist system have atmospheres with oxygen and water vapour. I want to know if they have seasonal changes in CO2. In short, I want evidence of life out there!
