Hello Joe

I noticed this quote : Telescopic measurements show that the burst - which occurred when the universe was about half its current age, before Earth was formed  - was bright enough to be seen without a telescope.

We see the cosmic canopy above us as it was not as it yet is!

Peace to you
Arcturus :)

Pretty cool struff!  Thanks for sharing Joe.  How can people not believe in God when considering the sheer power involved in phenomenon like this?   That boggles the mind :)

The 7.5 billion light years away far eclipses the previous naked eye record of 2.5 million light years. One light year is 5.9 trillion miles.

Thats 5.9 times 7.5!! 44,250,000,000,000,000,000,000 Look at all those zero's!!!
God is so amazing!!
I can't get out of my mind the idea of seeing light even before the earth was formed!!
This surely boggles my mind

Thanks Joe for sharing

You people are so silly. Everyone knows the universe is only 6000 years old  ;)  Ask any Baptist preacher.

Yeah, guess who else believes that.  First name rhymes with Ike and the last name is close to the term for dear meat.

The reason much of Christiandom believes in a six thousand year old universe is because they still can't see the light.  It hasn't reached them yet.
