NASA has always done more with less. It's kinda their thing. This mission is no exception.

Reply to comment by Eclipse489 in I imaged the moon as much as possible for a month to make this panorama of its phases, zoom in! by Eclipse489
You could fix it by drawing a circular selection around the moon and applying some feather to smooth out the transition and still keep some of that surrounding glow

Reply to Theoretically if we could instantly send a strong-enough telescope to a location millions of lightyears away from Earth, would we be able to see into our past? by Billy_bilo_
Keep everything aside and try to digest how vast our observable universe is. Even the word theoretically gets lost somewhere. Even information gets lost. Those lights we see from distant stars 🌟 we not sure if it's still there or not. Signals from voyager take just a little over 20 light hour to reach earth. Imagine the distance.

The short answer is yes. The long answer would involve data transmission times, light travel equations, and a bunch of other stuff I'm not qualified to explain past the basics.

Although, if you’d figured out how to instantly transport a telescope millions of light years, you could probably also figure out how to get the pics back quickly too ;)

The number of stars will never not be breathtaking

You would have to wait millions of years for your data to come back

Rad photo! No statement can ever truly fully represent the feeling that I get when looking at astrophotography and reading up on discoveries. To put it simply:
Space is so cool.

Would the images even make it back and if so won’t they take a very long time?

Theoretically it’s possible but we also already know about Earth’s past so there’s no reason to try and do something like this.

Did you even read the article? I mean, I know this I'd Reddit but come on. It's 98% deployed, is not mission affecting, handled its earth flyby without issue, and is considered an acceptable level of risk.

What does an explosion sounds like when it happens five feet away from you?
Well it doesn’t because the shockwave kills you way before the nerve signals have a chance to reach your brain and your brain to form the comprehension of sounds. So probably that.

More setbacks. This mission will never get done.

I can make it three but doesn't look 3d

I get the feeling that you know a lot about black holes and very little about how stereoscopic images work.

I agree I don't think this is stereoscopic. I'm also not sure why there are three. I tried everything I could think of.
