NASA is supposed to be some epitome of high-technology and represent the American space faring aspect of our country.

These assholes can't even get a live webstream going properly. It's a fucking joke. This whole stream is a live train wreck.

Wouldn't it be better if they would just release the full resolution photos openly on the web instead of this PR stunt bullshit? We aren't all sitting at home in a COVID lockdown.

Edit: found it https://www.nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

I'd like to see the non-processed image.

Ghey that they fancy it up post production.

Notice how it’s almost all men building it but they put almost 100% women presenting it to the public?

They spent 10 billion on a camera that creates 6 diffraction points on every star.

Its interfering with the very thing they were hoping to "see."

Imagine holding a mirror to your face, while wearing sunglasses and somebody takes a photo of your face from a long distance through the mirror. Your arm, holding the mirror up, actually shows up in a reflection on your sunglasses and is now showing up in the picture

Instead of moving your fucking arm out of the way to take the photo, or hiding your arm, they just go with that.

So NASA builds 3 armatures into a 10bln camera to hold a lense up in a similar manner. And that is why we have a six sided star illuminating off of every star in the photo.

Full details of what causes refraction points on a picture explained here:
