Yahoo news yesterday reported that astronomers have observed a star
explosion (super nova):

Excerpt:
Soderberg's team looked across space and time to witness the death
throes of supernova 2008D, found in one arm of the galaxy NGC 2770, 88
million light-years from Earth.

How do YEC's deal with that statement that it is 88 million light years
from earth? I know they think time and light can be warped, or light
doesn't behave in the past as it does now, but a difference of 88
million compared to 6,000 (their age for the universe)??? Do they
simply avoid the issue? So modern science thinks this actual explosion
happened around 88 million years ago... when do YEC's think it happened?
