700 Million Light Years From Earth

That would be 214.7 parsecs or 4,123 trillion miles, the distance from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to an exploding supernova and an adjacent black hole somewhere in the depths of space described here. 

Nothing could possibly be more inconsequential or meaningless to the life of any human on earth, in the past, now, or in any version of the future. The idea that spending by national agencies based on tax receipts for space exploration without genuine democratic approval is wrong.
