What amazes me is that the most distant object is 12,882,600,000 light years away yet one light year is equal to is 6,000,000,000,000 miles. Thats an unimaginably long way away.

Another thing to remember is that if you were to travel at the speed of light (around 670million mph) it would take you around 100 000 years to cross our galaxy. Yet our galaxy is pretty small compared to the universe.
