Well, it's not the sort of thing you want in the neighborhood...

Of course since it's 2 billion light years away the activity we see going on in the image occurred 2 billion years ago. I wonder what's going on there now, 2 billion years later.

They probably condemned the whole thing and sold it to Trump for a new galactic casino.

That Nebula next to it is probably gone along with all matter within a 100 light years. Probably looking pretty “black” right now.

2 Billion years....

Or, a billion years before anything bigger than one cell was living on the earth. Plus or minus a couple of weeks.

Jeez, the universe is unfathomably old, and unfathomably large.
