“the mysterious object is 22,000 light years away from Earth”

FYI: ONE light-year, the *distance* light travels in a year, at its fixed speed of 186,000 miles per second, works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles.

Almost the distance between Hillary supporters and reality.

Yep! Guess that means our national debt is about 45,000 light years over our collective heads...

Unless and until traveling faster than the speed of light is found to be possible, along with the ability for humans to survive such travel, observations of all such objects will be only by human telescopes, and communications will be so impractical as to be useless (why wait 44,000 years for a reply your civilization may not even been around to receive?).
