Humanity escapes the solar system: Voyager 1 signals that it has reached the edge of interstellar space
Voyager 1, which has been travelling at the rate of 10km/sec to the outer limits of the solar system since 1977, is now detecting the first traces of 'interstellar winds' (colder and slower than solar winds) - the signs it is finally reaching the edges of solar system. by Eddie Wrenn, dailymail.co.uk. (pretty frickin' amazing.)

Observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope show how our galaxy has grown over billions of years. (And how do we know what it looked like back then? Who took the picture?)
Worth a click for a plain language explanation. "This means that our observable Universe, as magnificent and large as it is, is only a tiny fraction of just one Universe in our vast Multiverse, whose true size and scope is not only unknown to us, but potentially unknowable. We have no ideas at the present time how to gain information about something that leaves no imprint or information in our observable Universe, and therefore we don’t know how to learn about it." Paul Rosenberg, Gravitational Waves, String Theory, Parallel Universe, Dark Energy, Physicists, Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Carl Sagan
What is the Multiverse, and why do we think it exists?

Let’s also “illuminate” the reality that those 93 million mile-distant photons are also over 8 minutes old…and other photons touching you today are billions of years old.
