Since it was +/- 650 MILLION Years ago, I guess I'll have to take the scientist's word for it.

But I also wonder how many celestial objects crossed or obscured the field of recorded vision over the observation period.

#3 When I was a kid black holes were still science fiction. Wouldn't surprise me if we still had much to learn about them.

#8 Off the "didn't wanna dignify that Russian's lurid 'golliwogs with sideways Glocks' pandering the other day" pile...

In St. Petersburg, everyone's... bright!
Gopniks pick balalaikas all night,
Gnawing barbecued bar
'Neath a giant red star
As they wait for the light, full of... fight.
