Behold! The pinnacle of human achievement - a blurry photo that looks suspiciously like someone dropped Cheerios on a black tablecloth and pointed arrows at them. Astronomers spent billions of dollars and decades of research to bring you this revolutionary image that your phone camera from 2005 could've taken if you sneezed while photographing a street lamp. Those little dots with arrows? Apparently entire planets! Next time someone asks why we can't have nice things like universal healthcare, just show them this groundbreaking smudge of pixels that's supposedly changing our understanding of the cosmos. The universe is vast and magnificent, and this is the best we could do. Progress!
