“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I remember being blown as a kid when I learned that the further away you look in space – the further back in TIME you look. The furthest objects we have seen were actually objects that existed just a few million years after the big bang. We can actually see the history of our universe by simplying zooming further and further away.

So drink in this amazing look at our universe where distance is looking back in time.
