"Distance estimates put WR-134 about 6,000 light-years away, making the frame over 50 light-years across."

For anyone unfamiliar with what a light-year actually is, it's the DISTANCE light travels in a year at it's more-or-less non-wavering speed of 186 thousand miles per second. It works out to be just under 6 TRILLION miles. That's six thousand times a billion. And so it took the light from WR-134 (6,000 x 6 trillion miles away) 6,000 years to reach us. We are 'seeing' it as it was 6,000 years ago.

Thanks again for posting these incredibly interesting scientific threads, SC! The Left has so damaged the credibility of science, that lots of people on the Right don't trust anything 'scientific' anymore.
