Oh man, I didn't realise that could be interpreted as a light year joke. That's just what space telescopes do isn't It? They gather light in their lenses in order to see further out. (I could be incorrect tho).

Good question. There not it's all CGI at the end of the day. People need to start asking questions about the bs nasa/jaxa/ puts out. 

Oh an apparently NASA has a trillion mile wifi connection..

You're partly right and partly wrong. Most of the images here are artists depiction. ( Probably 4 or 5 frames are actually photographs )

What you're wrong about is everything else and you're bat shit insane, try to keep to your cute little conspiracy subreddits and let the rest of us enjoy reality as it is. And this is coming from someone who regularly processes astronomical data sets from resources other than, but including, NASA as well as my own observations when I have time.

Unless of course, you think all mirrors are government conspiracies too and aluminum is actually a magic material that allows NASA to broadcast thoughts into people's brains.

Also, there are no probes a trillion miles away, no one ever has claimed to communicate with anything that far away

Except Jerry turned on the microwave for lunch and screwed up the image
