Thanks guys.
I just read up on the "Galactic centre" of our galaxy, and they reckon it's 24,800LY away. Far out! So, whatever we see (LOL, or don't see) happened 24,800 years ago.
Hmm..that's weird. So, if the centre of our galaxy is that far away, that means that galaxy they recently found that could produce a planet like earth is much closer, at 490LY away. This is some interesting and mind boggling stuff!
