A huge explosion was detected 13 BILLION light years away. It was a disintegrating star. The fact that we can identify stuff like this is amazing.

a little late though... That means it happened about 13 billion years ago.

A light year is a unit of distance, the distance light travels in a year. The star disintegrated 13 billion years ago, and it took 13 billion years for the light to reach us.

skreeonk I knew I'd mess it up, I always thought a light year was like 9.45x10^15 years, but I also knew it was miles, just plain idiocy on my part

Wrong again.

Firstly, it's in kilometers, not miles.

Secondly, it's 9.45 multiplied with 10^12, not 10^15.

Just for future reference

Where would we be without SG2010 helping us out with the relative distance of a single light year?

The whole light year thing is quite interesting. I've always wondered if there's some way to break the speed of light...I mean, what the hell would happen!?

Hitler was not Jewish as far as he himself knew. It's a possibility since his grandmother was kind of a slut, but nobody knows for sure who his grandfather on that side really was.
