The most amazing thing to me is that we actually have a spacecraft 13 light minutes from Earth!
Then I recall how far out Voyager 1 is out: about 7 light DAYS! And it is still talking to us.
Just wow.
And that’s right in our neighborhood. Recently we just got hit with a gravitational wave caused by two rotating black holes merging about 1.5 billion years ago. The cataclysmic detonation of energy released nearly more energy than all the objects in the universe. The wave was a space/time ripple moving at nearly the speed of light.
