    Light years is a term to tell how far something away is. Basically, 700 light years means that it will take light 700 years to reach that specific spot.

    and btw, that's a beautiful picture, the universe has always been colorful.

    I'm pretty sure we've got a few billion years before our sun dwarfs;).

    Long enough at least that we don't have to personally deal with it. Let the freaks from the future handle it.

    That's pretty tight. But our generation has a lot of time to enjoy the scene. Since its only gonna be there for the next 10,000 years.
