Sid Meier getting nervous they're gonna send back images of Alpha Centauri and it won't be anything like the vision he had for those Civilization video games.

Capture of the video, that's a lot of galaxies and lensing.

EDIT: Better images below

Ehhhhhh. That looks like any old Hubble telescope image to me.

Impressive how far it was reaching (light that is 13B years old), but I wanted to see the surface of exoplanets and fantastical nebulas.

…. The surface of exoplanets???? Well, I have bad news for you I guess.

Zoom in on the full res of the image, it’s significantly more clear than Hubble.

Yeah seems like there's a lot more detail vs Hubble. I'm sure someone will make some comparison images.
