Amazing, profound, beautiful and mind boggling.....
Who else is out there and are they as amazed... when looking back at us?
An interesting thought crossed my mind some years ago that if a distant civilization, at this very time (today, right now), say, 75 million light years away, had a telescope capable of resolving Earth's surface features, and its inhabitants, they would actually be seeing dinosaurs running around. Because it would take that long for the 75 million year-old image to have reached them. Another one, say ~4.5 billion light years distant, Earth's formation.
I'll bet they're just as amazed as we are. I'll bet they're also arguing over whether there's intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Funny, when you think about it.
