An artist rendering of what it might have looked like, based on galaxies 10 billion light years away (therefore as they looked 10 billion years ago).

As our earth is only roughly 4.5 billion years old, I'm glad to see they included the last line in the post.....

QuoteThe artist?s rendering above depicts what that might have looked like from the viewpoint of an Earth-like planet, if such a thing had existed.
