    Incredible! These are like the old Hubble shots of galaxies by how blurry they are - but these are freaking planets!!!

          Yeah, that 2039 date projection for LUVOIR is awful. Especially considering that it will almost certainly be pushed back a few years.

          I’d love to see something that big happen though.

            Well, if JWST was worth the wait, I’m sure LUVOIR would be as well.

            But yeah, I’m impatient too :)
