So it takes 100billion light years for the light comming from these places to get to us, so we can see them and know they are there. It seems like alot could happen in those 100bil light years. 😕

I also wonder how they figured out where we are, when we've never had a spaceship out that far to look back and take snapshots.

We can see everything around us 360 degrees on every axis...

That makes sence now.

I wonder though still, how they know what our solar system/galaxy looks like. Just plotting what we find until there's enough points to play connect the dots?
