I’m just now linking to all of your links.

Thanks for all the info!!

Hours AFTER. Great.

I thought we could see ####ing 10 billion light years out or something?

I dont know what the #### I’m talking about :), but I thought we had Incredible telescopes.

I dont understand how we track meteors/asteroids or what the difference is.

I guess the telescopes that can see millions of light years away are for the big, “stationary” things. Harder to see the “little” things. I mean, even to think that we can detect an object half a football field in size at hundreds of thousands of miles is pretty incredible. Not like we can do much about it.

Sort of like we can see the big semi down the road in front of us. Can’t see the pebble that hits our windshield. And even if the semi lost a rock off the back end - how many of us keep enough distance to be able to stop in time even if we did see it?
