Well heck, pilgrims, that sure puts things in perspective doesn't it? I can quit wringing my hands over Fiscal Cliffs and our nation going down the toilet. There are bigger and more important things to worry about.
As I understand it, if one of those stars flame out, it will be 850 thousand light years before our astronomers will notice it or see it through the Hubble telescope.
Ahh well..........
Oh, here is the link.
