420 MILLION lightyears. I can't even fully grasp how something can be so unbelievably huge and it's still just a tiny, tiny dot in all that space. If I could wish for one thing in my life, it would be to have been born much later in time when we know more about space. It's so hard to comprehend and it saddens me that I will die before we really know what it all means.

Born too late to explore the oceans & discover new lands, born too early to explore the stars & discover new planets.
