it's a shame that this story hasn't gotten more attention.
I am the average person when it comes to this subject. It is just that we (the avg people) do not understand what this means.
- logiclion 9y agoWhat it means is that we are a tiny speck of dust floating on a tiny rock in space and an object that has come from a distance that is so far away numbers wouldn't do it justice has just flew by earth closer than the distance between the earth and sun (1 AU). Some quick facts (from wikipedia), 100 years ago it was 561 AU away (Neptune is ~30 AU), its max speed was 196,000mph and when discovered it was going 'only' 100,000mph. Space/Astronomy is a beautiful thing when it comes to relative perspective to us humans.
