20. In a Galaxy Far, Far Away…
The light reaching us from this ancient galaxy began its journey 13.4 billion light-years ago, long before our planet was even a twinkle in the universe’s eye. This light, a silent messenger from the distant past, is three times older than Earth itself, offering a profound perspective on our place in the cosmic timeline.
It’s an eye-opening indication of the universe’s vast age and the relatively brief moment in which humanity has existed. Each photon of that ancient light carries stories of the early universe, tales that we’re only just beginning to uncover and understand. It shows us that in the grand scheme of things, our history is a transient moment against the stage of cosmic time.
