It might be more impressive, if we had an understanding how far the images are to us.

Good question...The article states the pic shows a galaxy cluster as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. Light travels ≅ 186,282 mi/sec.; so, 31,557,600 sec/yr X 4.600,000,000 yrs X 186,282 mi/sec ≅ 2.7 with 25 zeros behind it miles. Or 27 septillion miles away is my guess-— Corrections welcome; I'm tired.
