OK, nice graphic. It begins at 52,000 BC and ends at 52,000 AD. My math tells me that is 104,000 years. I want to know WHO took all of this early photos and who took all of the future photos? As far as I know, photography was not invented until 1822. Perhaps Marty McFly and his rare Delorian with the Flux Capacitor.

I have also always been curious, what kind of drugs were those early astronomers on to look up at those bright spots in the sky and "see" Orion the great hunter?

Probably better drugs than the kids get today. Their drugs would not have been laced with artificial chemicals
