IF GALAXIES 13.3 BILLION LIGHT YEARS FROM US MOVE AWAY AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, HOW WOULD WE EVER KNOW THAT THEY ARE EVEN THERE? IS IT LIKE THE UNIVERSE CURVES OR SOMETHING AND WE CAN'T SEE OVER THE HORIZON AT 13.3 BILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY?

Bob Berman's column is the first that I read when a new issue arrives. Needless to say I re-read his column several times. Much great information packed in a one page work. Truly first class.
