We think of space as something virtual, but the truth is that space is real and we are immersed in it.
According to Einstein, to space must be added the parameter we call time.
Space and with it also time, expands in all directions, so that for our minds, it is considered to be infinite.The most powerful telescopes that are being built, always discover more and more distant galaxies, and with the Hubble telescope was detected a galaxy to 13.200 million light-years, to which they have cataloged as z8-GND-5296. (A light year is equal to 9,460,000,000,000 km. It is such a large amount that we can not even imagine it.)

If we multiply both numbers, we obtain the distance in kilometers to which the farthest galaxy is. 12,506,120,000,000,000,000 Km.
