Telescope is only 71 mm in diameter.
Here is my question. If the universe is infinite, how can we say this happened half way across. Maybe he should have said the known universe. As another poster quoted Carl Sagen, I gotta say, I loved his anologies, rated right up there with Asimov, in perspective, we will all die one day and nothing that could possibly happen today or the next has any bearing on the rest of the universe.Somebody might just step on this little ant colony one day.
The universe is unbounded, finite, and spherical. The part we can see is size comparable to a grain of sand to the earth, which is how it appears flat.
