I agree hypernovae.  It sure puts things in perspective.

Really neat. Reminds me of the intro to "the big bang theory". Smile

I think the bit at the end is not quite right - we can see further than 14 billion light years (about 40 billion light years?) because the space has been stretching as the light has travelled - the first part of the path of a 14 billion year old photon is now much longer than the time it took to cross it.

@Elroch:  I'm not big on tv, but I don't miss an episode of The Big Bang Theory.  That and Rules of Engagement with David Spade and Patrick Warburton.  I laugh so damn hard watching these comedies.  Kaley Cuoco is smokin' hot, and Jim Parsons is an unbelievable actor.  I've never seen an actor have tougher lines than Jim Parsons (Sheldon).
