From the other comments, I understand why it's there, but i wish they would photoshop them out.

The images take on a more synthetic and fake quality when the technical physical man-made constraints of our telescope get projected out onto the natural very much NON-man-made universe.

Look at https://stsci-opo.org/STScI-01G7ETPF7DVBJAC42JR5N6EQRH.png and observe the incredible entropy in the nebula itself. The consistent, perfect, straight lines, of each star are jarring in the image.

to be clear - i realize these are for science. they shouldn't be edited for scientists.

but we should edit them :)
