Happened to catch a little bit of discussion about this mission on the ABC radio last night when I popped out to pick up the daughter (I normally listen to triple m but can't stand the AFL drivel so listen to the ABC when that happens). There was a lady astronomer on there talking about the photos that were captured and how the light captured was generated by those starts between 13 and 14 billion years ago....not that much longer after the 'big bang'.
Mind boggling to think about that. She also said there's a good chance that some of those very starts have already burnt themselves out and don't exist anymore.
Jaydee, you'll be very concerned that, in her view, given the immense size of the universe, it's hard to believe that earth contains the only living organisms! Be careful they are out there!
