#1 Whoa! I wanna see the film!

I'm interested in seeing (if we can detect it) any "bounce back" effect. (Should be a quick series of flashes before fading away.)

#3 So, the Hubble continues to be the B-52 of orbiting telescopes while the James Webb ST still isn't even scheduled for launch. Swell work there, guys...

#6 I had forgotten that one, P2k.

Eerie little story, that.

#7 This is old news. This happened billions of years ago.

#8 Airandee, this star is 22 million light years away, thus the event happened 22 millions ago, not billions as you stated.

#9  the event happened 22 millions ago,

Millions, billions, whatever. Gentlemen, let's not quibble over a couple of zeros. Also, does that take daylight savings time into account?

As for "The 9 Billion Names of God", eerie indeed. Totally freaked me out as a kid.

#13 Story's a favorite over here at the other end of the practicality and numeracy scales, too. Thirty years later, maybe more, and I remember it more vividly than most of what I've read this month. Also...

Of emails a mountainous clump
(nine billion!) were dumped by some shlump.
The last one was wiped,
And Hill diapered and hyped,
When from heaven resounded a trump.

Like, at eleven.
