So incredibly awesome.

The 10 or so 'spiky' stars are stars in our own galaxy, so those can be ignored. The rest? They're all galaxies, baby!

The more we see, the more we realize how insignificant we are.

20 years of work and $10 billion to get an image like a child's kaleidoscope. Meanwhile, America's infrastructure is at least 30 years outdated and our schools lag behind the rest of the world.

Your ‘I hate everything’ schtick is starting to veer into serial threadcrapping. Tone it down, will you, please?

When I was a kid, seeing quasars was a relatively new thing. Now we're seeing billions of years into the past and I'm in heaven.

The thing I'm really hoping for is detailed information on "nearby" planets. It'd be great to know we're not the only ones making a mess of things out here.
