How can we have a picture of a 3,000 year old event from 160,000 light years away? Something is wrong or I've got to get one of those new wormhole cameras.

Good catch, Chris - however, they are referring to 3000 years in FAR LOCAL time. That image did take the full 160,000 plus 3000 to reach us here in OUR LOCAL time for a total of 163,000 years. I'll make a note of that in the article, thanks.<br><br>-Paul<br>
