This is a great thread.
I'm quite into the odds and ends of outer space myself, and have been ever since I first heard Sun Ra's "Space Is the Place". A recent thing I enjoy pondering is that, if one was to travel to our closest off galaxy, Andromeda, and look through an extremely powerful telescope allowing them to see all the details of our earth, they being 2 million light years away, would see primitive man walking earth.
Two million years after their death.
From the most local galaxy.
'Tis amazing.
