Does anyone know how vast space is? It goes forever?
My mind does not fathom it.
God spoke ....

Imagine someone dropped a penny on the Moon.
Imagine you wanted to see where it was on the Moon by looking out the window of your house.
Now imagine wanting to read the DATE on the penny.
THAT’S why it’s “jaw dropping”.

So, we can read a date on a penny on this exoplanet?

Why should we assume they use pennies? Maybe they have denarii or drachmas or yen.

I wish those astronomers would focus their camera!
That photo is blurry!...
To: frnewsjunkie
Nope, no one knows. The farthest galaxy we've seen is 13.4 billion light years away. The farthest we can possibly see is about 14 billion light years, because at that point space is expanding faster than light. But since the universe is expanding, and light would have taken 14 billion years to get here, it would be about 46.5 billion light years away by now. That is only the limit of how far we can see, however. No one knows how far beyond that it actually goes.

Where was the Subaru parked when it acquired the image?

400 light years away.
A single light year is about 6 trillion miles. 400 x 6 trillion is... ah.... it’s a ...um... a hell of a long way.
