Here's a really cool story:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/03/21/exploding.star.ap/index.html

A star located about 7.5 BILLION light years away (if you believe in those distances and the implied times) went supernova, and yesterday the light reached us. It was so bright that it could be seen with the naked eye!

That's about half way across the universe.

What would this forum be without some disagreement.

Probably it wasn't that far away. There, you were waiting for it, so here it is (my disagreement.)

Now I know this has nothing to do with this thread, but what is ∞LY/2. It is ∞LY not 7.5 Bil LY.
