Exploding star 7.5 billion light years away, sets record

[Neeper]

The explosion of a star halfway across the universe was so huge it set a record for the most distant object that could be seen on Earth by the naked eye. The aging star, in a previously unknown galaxy, exploded in a gamma ray burst 7.5 billion light years away, its light finally reaching Earth early Wednesday.

Amazing. The previous record for the furthest object seen with the naked eye is 2.5 million light years away. This blows it away.
