‘The emission is believed to be about 11 billion years old,...’
I think Helen Thomas covered that explosion as a ‘cub’ reporter....
LOL!!!Then it must have been a nocturnal emission.............
OK, it went “boom” 11 billion years or so ago... on a Monday, no doubt.
When was it recorded here? A few days, months ago? More?
What kind of cub is she, Ursine?
Hmmm, I dunno, look at her closely....she could easily have been the first upright reptile....(chuckle)

Significant in this is that the age of the Universe might now be reported as 11 billion years.
Can anyone provide details on the measurement technique?
“Only recently has truth begun to triumph. Continuing research in many fields is finally sorting fact from fiction” ... Words written on a small-lettered inscription found in California’s Death Valley Museum.
“On the night of last June 7, alerted by the gamma-spotting Swift satellite, astronomers at Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea dropped their main project and refocused on the gamma burst within 15 minutes, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.”

Maybe she was the black hole...
Ewwwww.
I mean, really, Ewwwwww.
Glad they don’t have a ‘smell mpeg’.
I have to admit, I don’t think I could prove Helen Thomas is human.

Studying Gaseous anomalies in the Neutral Zone?..........
Missed that somehow... obviously I need more caffeine.
No, the info you needed was in a different article. The original article was kinda stripped down to the bare bones on info...............
11,000,000,000 times 6,000,000,000,000 = Miles from Earth?
The same. Nothing travels faster than light. It’s the law...........
