13.4 million light years too big?

Don't watch if you're prone to 'infinity problems', I can't get enough of this:

You should get yourself a telescope man, if you haven't already of course.
You can get superb ones now for around £300-400. Depending where you are in england of course. You may be surrounded by light pollution. I'm lucky & live in a real dark sky area, get out any chance I can - which admittedly hasn't been too often this past 6 months.. Good investment for the family too.

Not quite 13.4 billion light years away, but there was a cracking Northern Lights display over Scotland last night. Well worth dragging the camera to a cold East Lothian beach :D

mc, that is Beautiful! Very Beautiful.

One of the many advantages of living in the middle of nowhere is the ability to look up into the Heavens on a Clear Night without pollution from city light. I've a telescope w/ stand mounts placed on the roof over my deck. It is Fantastic.

Last night, as the storms finally moved out, and the stars were bright again - so bright that I walked down the driveway to check for mail in the box by the road, and I had no flashlight as I found out; but there was enough light to look up the hill and see the outline of the house made by the stars. So Peaceful, along with the Night Sounds that continued 'til dawn, I know, because I did not sleep!
