"the Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, is a mere 10 light-years wide."For those who don't know, a light year is the DISTANCE light travels in a year at its more or less constant speed of 186,000 miles per second. It works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles. That's 5.9 THOUSAND TIMES a BILLION (miles)!

Or, expressed in dollars, it’s about a 1/3 of our debt!

...5,900,000,000,000 units? That's all? Are you kidding! That's only one-tenth of the national debt. Correct me if I'm wrong... /sarc
