Astronomers are familiar with seeing amazing things through their telescopes. But nothing prepared them for an incredible explosion detected early Wednesday morning by NASA�s Swift satellite. At 2:12 a.m. EDT, Swift detected an explosion from deep space that was so powerful that its afterglow was briefly visible to the naked eye. Even more astonishing, the explosion itself took place halfway across the visible universe!

Never before has anything so far away come even close to naked-eye visibility. The explosion was so far away that it took its light 7,500,000,000 (7.5 billion) years to reach Earth! In fact, the explosion took place so long ago that Earth had not yet come into existence.

But I thought the universe (according to Genesis) was only 4000 years old!?

The distance is so great we can't really comprehend it.

The explosion so great that we can't comprehend it.

This sounds really really big.

With all the potential disastors waiting to happen in our immediate space area, its truly amazing we have existed this long.

That's really amazing. I loved studying astronomy in 8th grade, it was awsome! SO are you involved in NASA, or just interested in outer space studies? Anyways, it's good to see a Christian with knowledge of astronomy. Usually, or at least all the "astronomers" I know, are the atheist scientific type.
