One seemingly reliable source estimates that this mysterious object is ~700 million light years away, where one light year, the distance light travels in one year at its constant speed of 186,000 per second, is roughly 6 TRILLION miles. So 700 million light years is 700 million x 6 trillion...MILES. And the light we are seeing now was emitted 700 million years ago! At that time on Earth, geologists say, a huge super continent called Rodinia was still in the process of splitting apart. For those of you who live near the New Madrid Fault, you can thank this event for creating it.
