no, but the average person can afford a $100 telescope, and they can afford a $10 ticket to visit a local observatory.

and once you've seen the evidence that those can provide imaging beyond what your eyes can give, then you can start by reading things like scientific journals, actually understanding how science like "peer review" works, and then start looking at the imaging which is produced by things like Hubble, and made available.

And since you'll have then become sufficiently scientifically literate to understand the process of the imaging being provided, you can then, if you are still a swivel-eyed conspiracy theorist, cross-reference provided data from sources you have been able to use for empirical evidence with your own eyes, and extrapolate from the provided data and see correlations in the data which dismisses the idea that the Hubble content is faked.


This is, in fact, how we as a species have managed to develop everything you take for granted in society. Instead of going "hurr. Grog tell fake story of sabertooth in cave. Grog shill for Big Rock. I go look in cave, prove Big Rock all liars". (before being eaten by a big cat.)
