I think you meant to say 'credit to NASA'. They did most of the work, really. |

Magnificent Bastard

what makes this so cool is that we've literally watched this thing form from a supernova since 1979.

Momentary lapse in brain made me think for some reason that light-years were how long it would take light to travel to get to us. I need to sleep more. |

Exactly my thoughts, though I assume what they really mean is what we're seeing is a 30-year old black hole, at least the images from when it was new It's really interesting how most of the stuff you can see from space probably collapsed or was destroyed long ago and we'll probably not be around long enough to know it |

So yeah my first edited instinct was right. 50 million light years means it'd take that light 50,000,000 years to reach us. Not following how we can see it at all. Somebody who is still capable of thinking clear this up. Thanks.
