Not bad that it's 1350 light years away. Still kinda blurry though

what should the money have been spent on?

Wouldn't putting a telescope somewhere like the moon be better since no atmosphere to worry about? Would the difference make it worth the effort?

The difference would be significant, assuming you took advantage of being on the moon to build a networked telescope of huge aperture. But that would take decades of investment in lunar settlement.

correct, but this was a trolling 'joke' made by some actual respected scientist earlier this year iirc. it was supposedly a hi-res picture of Betelgeuse captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
had the internet in an uproar for a day or two lol, pretty funny. even more comical you didn't catch >>15871893 's joke

There have been some concepts for an Arecibo-esque radio telescope built into a lunar crater. It's essentially just a huge wire mesh suspended from the rim. Not particularly difficult to build, but it still requires being able to land tons of material on the Moon, so still outside of our capabilities for now.

Yes, not being one of the first to hear the astrophysicists pepperoni joke has been one of the greatest sorrows of my life.
