What really blows my mind is to consider time, when viewing those images. If the universe is 13 billion years old, and we're able to receive light that is 12.9 billion years old, we're actually seeing what happened at the beginning of the universe (relatively). Equally mind blowing is the fact that the light we're receiving in no way reflects what is presently happening at the part of space we're receiving the light from.
