What blows my mind is that star already exploded 3,000 years ago (give or take a few months). I know space is big, but this just hits home how mind-bogglingly big it really is.
That is crazy. And some stars are probably exploding right now and it will only be visible by our descendants in a few thousands of years. They will look like at it wondering how it was to live in our times.
