I finally get why people love those old Hubble deep field shots

I was talking to my uncle Dave last weekend, he's been into astronomy since the 80s. He pulled out a printed photo of the Hubble Deep Field from 1995 and said remember when this was mind blowing? Made me think about how we're so used to perfect James Webb images now that we forget how huge those first fuzzy pictures were. Does anyone else feel like we lost some of the wonder with all the new tech?

Well, the Hubble deep field was actually from 1995, not the 80s.

@skylerg17 good catch but the wonder was still real back then.
