It’s also astounding that the heat from a bee can travel that distance through space to be detected in the first place.
We'll be looking at the heat signatures of galaxies and stars that are 13.7 billion+ light years away. (Bigger than bees, but much further.)

I know and it staggers me. Our ability to construct such sensitive equipment (this, LIGO etc) is truly remarkable.
