I don't think I will ever really comprehend what we are looking at here. Too mind-boggling. And that is just one of... a lot of them. Here is something more down to earth.NGC 2903 is an isolated barred spiral galaxy located approx 30 million light years away from earth.

Yeah I initially googled what earth would have been like 30 million years ago (when the light in that picture left that galaxy and started it's journey to us) but it was too weird to even post. If you were really into geology it was the Oligocene epoch?I don't think I will ever really comprehend what we are looking at here. Too mind-boggling. And that is just one of... a lot of them.

Light travels 7,5 times around the earth in one second. 30 million years of traveling to reach us… and this is a rather close one. The universe is ridiculous.Yeah I initially googled what earth would have been like 30 million years ago (when the light in that picture left that galaxy and started it's journey to us) but it was too weird to even post.

Much, much later on:Scale is crazy. And then how about this, lol. 100.000 billion years. That would mean we are 0,013% of the way towards the end. What could happen in all that time...
Red dwarf stars live fantastically long lives, gently sipping on hydrogen to power a slow but steady fusion reaction. But eventually, all stars, including the red dwarfs, will come to an end. In roughly 100 trillion years, the last light will go out
