133 Light Years =
7.8185717 x 10 to the 14th power Miles

That’s really far away! :-)

Hopefully, by the time the aliens get here, we’ll have a better border policy in place.

Nothing to be gained scientifically?

He sells himself short.

This is almost as awesome as seeing the video of the irregular batch of stars orbiting the Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A Star.

That is really cool, if that is a 12 year loop those plants take a long time to orbit their star.

So God is pretty much done with our disappointing Solar System (once he added humans) and is at work on a new one?

Who can blame Him? ;)
