  When I was younger and my science teacher pointed this out, he also made the point of telling us that means it’s not just the past, but things that may not even be there anymore.

They turned on the Hubbell and they saw a big sign in the sky saying “Take a journey inside supermassive hyperactive black holes”. Did Elon put that sign out there?
