Hehe title says highest resolution and thumbnail's a blurry mess.
Edit: wait the whole thing is blurry. Which means... we didn't even have this before?
What stopped us? Distance in space or that light simply escaped and we couldn't zoom in on finer increments?
Article says that it's basically the equivalent of getting an image of a bottle cap on the surface of the moon from earth. At that kind of resolution the wavelength of light actually becomes a limiting factor. They're using shorter wavelengths to get higher resolution.
That stuff inbetween.
What's the problem? I just see a bunch of space
You can't see space, you see the stars behind that space and those stars, turn out to be pretty bright
Damnit, I really gotta stop assuming that people know when I'm being sarcastic. Sorry
Yeah... That can be difficult to tell on the internet...
Well, there's stars and dust inbetween.
