Whats the best resource to see the actual bitcoin block in its raw readable format?

For example, if I want to see the actual bitcoin block data?

As long as you're not doing anything that requires trust (in which case, you should use Core), you can just go to:

Code:

https://blockexplorer.com/api/rawblock/

Now when I do this

https://blockexplorer.com/api/rawblock/000000000000000000a7b4999c723ed9f308425708577c76827ade51062e135a

I get this

{"rawblock":"00000020a15e218f5f158a31053ea101b917a6113c807f6bcdc85a000000000000000000cc7cf9e ab23c2eae050377375666cd7862c1dfeb81abd3198c3a3f8e045d91484a39225af6d00018659e5e 8a0101000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000f fffffff64030096072cfabe6d6d08d1c2f6d904f4e1cd10c6558f8e5aed5d6a89c43bb22862464e bb819dd8813404000000f09f909f104d696e6564206279206a6f73656d737200000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007f06000001807c814a0000000019 76a914c825a1ecf2a6830c4401620c3a16f1995057c2ab88acefebcf38"}

But trying to decode that yields gibberish.

Suggestions?
