This composite image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope shows the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0717 where four separate galaxy clusters have been involved in a collision — the first time such a phenomenon has been documented.
MACS J0717 is located about 5.4 billion light-years from Earth. It is one of the most complex galaxy clusters ever seen.

Some of the last work done by Hubble before it’s servicing. The telescope will not be producing any new tasked imagery until September of this year to allow time for extensive testing of the new and upgraded equipment installed recently.

What ever happened to the good ol' days?
Now how do they know that.........I think they just guess at half that stuff.....it's hard enough to get the miles to the nearest star right. LOL

Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
no - light travels pretty much at a constant so the calculations are pretty rudimentary albeit involving lots of numbers - but you knew that - right?
:-)
BTW - the nearest extra solar star to us is currently 2.46896992 × 10 to the power of 13 miles away from us - roughly.
