These cosmic distances remind us of big events on our planet. The electromagnetic waves and light of celestial objects, passing our telescopes and detected by human eyes, cameras and scientific instruments have already been  on the way for up to billions of years. It demonstrates us the endless size of our universe and that our epoch of humanity is only "a blink of an eye" in Earth's history.
The following link provides you my self created, illustrated image "Cosmic Distances related to Earth's Evolution"
on this topic.

Here you find further detailed information and you can download the easySkyExplorer and the User Manual, explaining

the installation procedure, the structure and functions. Have fun!

I find it interesting to run Sky Safari back in time to the Iron Age to look at the constellations as they were in those times and scroll forward to the various historical eras.

I’m confused. How does SkySafari know what they called constellations 3,000 years ago?

Ha ha... Maybe Anthony Burgess could have helped? He did create the languages in the above film...

A great idea, but can you find a way to post these directly on this site as images or something. I'm not going to click on those links.

The OP went the trouble to register and make this post. It would be nice if he checked back in.

 

From a look at his website, this seems to be something he is selling. He is going to have to do a better job in the sales department and probably register as a vendor.
