"The light from an exploding star 7.5 billion light years away set a record Wednesday for the most distant object ever seen with the naked eye."
That is one heck of an explosion. I wish I could have seen it myself.
Awesome pictures that they show.
Cool pics. 7.5 billion l/y away? Wow.
The greatest value of the past is how wisely we invest it in the future.

I want to be alive, I am alive! Alive, I tell you! Mother, I love you, those are no longer just words. I want to hold you, I want to run in a stream, I want to taste ice cream but not just put it in my mouth and let it slide down my throat but really eat it. - Robot Morty
