Wow wow how awesome is that, go Alma! I wonder if it has its own cute tweet channel...sorry Brian, couldnt resist 🙂
That's just so incredible, though to see planetary systems in its embryonic stage at such a resolution. And that was just a pre-fully operational test. Another example of how rich the foreseeable future is looking in cosmological discoveries and technological advances.
Btw, next week, New Horizons will wake up from its final hibernation stage for its January Pluto rendezvous, another exciting landmark to come very soon.
Excellent stuff. It'll be fascinating to see what resolution we can get to when the Square Kilometre Array comes online in a few years time.
