"A mere seven hundred light years from Earth"For anyone who doesn't know, a light year is the DISTANCE light travels in a year at light speed (186,000 miles per second). It works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles.

WOW, that is EXACTLY what all lights seen at night look like through the cataracts in my right eye.
Maybe I don’t have cataracts, just super telescopic astronomers vision.....?

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don’t need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
