Nothing special, it's a fraud to soak taxpayer money as usual.
Ask yourself this. Why in the world would you build another one of these if in fact you could just rocket up to the sky and take photos like the Hubbley Bubbly? I'll tell you why, because you can't leave here, there is a dome preventing all exploration. So lets build ground based telescopes interfered with all the unnatural light now and pollution to see lights in the sky. Anyone who looked thru telescopes sees lights, multicolored lights, flashing away like strobes. God is Great...
This on the other hand is nothing more than we got to build it so we can talk more Bullshit.

Willful ignorance is such a sad thing. News flash, I own a telescope. There are no multicolored lights. In fact, everything is pretty much white. You can detect a little red from Mars and a little brown from Jupiter. That about all the color you see. Need to attach a camera and take pics to see any color. No strobes. The stars twinkle a little, that's it. I'm sure you think that is all the devil's work and whatnot, but you'd be wrong.
It is definitely willful ignorance. The information is out there.
What do you think all of those astronomers are doing? Staring at little colored dots all night long? Making maps of them?
Actually, no. These days, it's rare to even bother looking at photos and maps of the stars. What's MUCH more interesting is their light spectrum and the variations in their intensities over time. (Yeah - "color and twinkle" if you must). Most astronomers have never even visited the telescopes that they're doing observations through - and since many of those instruments are out there in space, most astronomers couldn't go look through their telescopes even if they wanted to.
By looking at subtle variations on those things, they can learn the distance, mass and chemical composition of a star - how old it is, what "family" it belongs to - how many planets it has and what size they are.
This is mostly done with math and gigantic computer programs.
The "looking through telescopes" part of the job pretty much vanished over the last few decades.
