They can "put a man on the moon", yet can't take a decent picture of 43,000 galaxies? Meh.

This is What 43,000 Galaxies Look Like On a Map.
The image above is the most complete map of our local universe to date. It took more that ten years to create, has 43,000 galaxies and extends out 380 million light years from the earth. The 3D coordinates of each galaxy was recorded so the raw data could potentially be used to build a realistic 3D model of the universe. Throw in some holographic technology and you have something straight from Star Trek.
