    Over 26000 years ago if the mirror was placed at the very edge of the milky way. I wonder how many light years away the mirror would have to be to fit the whole image of the galaxy inside it.

    I just can’t even begin to get my head around those numbers, I am a tiny insignificant ant.

      It would more be a matter of the diameter of the mirror. It could be one inch outside the galaxy and give us a view of the galaxy.
