That one is kind of dumb. All telescopes "look back in time" to at least some extent. With binoculars, you're looking a few microseconds back in time. -- nm - mara Apr 24, 08:36 2
- kid, your eyes look back in time! -- nm - crash davis Apr 24, 08:43 1
  - Exactly.. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 24, 08:55
I've never heard it and someone needs to explain it because my anxiety is freaking out on that one. - ty97 Apr 24, 08:36 11
- Due to how long it takes light to reach over distances, there are aliens watching the dinosaurs go extinct right now. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 24, 08:59 2
  - This freaks me out, lots -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 09:12 1
    - What'd freak you out more should be the other aliens are only now watching us nuke Japan. - Will Hunting Apr 24, 09:15
- The light emitted or reflected from something still takes some time to reach us - Reagen Apr 24, 08:39
- shirley you aren't serious -- nm - crash davis Apr 24, 08:37 4
  - I think ty's brother took over his ST account. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:41 3
    - physics and ty97 are like oil and vinegar - ty97 Apr 24, 09:03 2
      - It is just odd that you have never heard about it. I literally heard it yet again on the radio this morning. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 09:06 1
        
        sounds like one of those things I probably did hear once and then quickly forgot -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 09:11
- The farthest-away galaxies are 13.2 billion light-years from Earth, meaning their light has taken 13.2 billion years to travel to Hubble's cameras. -- (link) - mara Apr 24, 08:37 1
  - oh duh, that makes sense. (thanks) -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:55
