I have a passion for astronomy and so I thought I would post this. I know it's not major news:

It will reaches in 2072 and burn down our atmosphere, and we all die. Nice find, though.

13 billion years ago. If you didn't know the universe is 13.7 billion years old.

13 billion years ago. If you didn't know the universe is 13.7 billion years old.So, it is one of the oldest findings.

It makes sense. The light from the sun takes eight minutes, and it is only 14.9X10^8 Km -- it is not even a light year. Something that is far from us billion of light-years... wow, it takes a cosmic while to reach us.
