I enjoy these images, but I also wonder "what's the point?" We spend billions of dollars to see star systems that may never even exist anymore...and if they do, we'll never visit them.
If for entertainment, then sure I get it. But at this point why even bother trying to (as stated by NASA):
-find first light in the universe
-study the birth of stars/planets
-find? (i guess) the first galaxies in the universe
If we're going to invest in the universe, maybe we should start looking at travel and places much closer?
A colossal waste of time and money IMO...though I'll still marvel at the pictures anytime they come out
