Anything about the latest discovery of a galaxy some 13 billion light years away or so? One must wonder what it looks like now without the time lag...
Wow! Very nice. Think I’ll go visit them one of these days. :)
Thanks for posting.
Thirty million light years away. So if we sent a robot-manned explorer vessel (built to last for eons) at one tenth the speed of light, it would take 300 million light years to get to one of those galaxies, and then another 30 million light years to report back.
That sounds feasible. When does the Mission Planning start?
I wonder why Messier did not catalog the galaxy in the lower left (NGC 3628)? It obviously is of enough visual magnitude to have been seen during his observation.
