3. The night sky is like a cosmic time machine
The night sky is like a cosmic time machine. Whenever we observe a distant planet, star or galaxy, we are seeing it as it was hours, centuries or even millennia ago. This is because light travels at a finite speed (the speed of light) and
given the large distances in the Universe, we do
not see objects as they are now, but as they
were when the light was emitted. The time elapsed
between when we detect the light here on Earth and
when it was originally emitted by the source, is
known as the lookback time. When astronomers see
a galaxy and they say: it is a billion light-years away,
they usually mean: the light from that galaxy took a
billion years to get here.
So, what we see is how the galaxy looked like, a billion
years ago.
Simply put: The more distant an object is from us, the
further back in time we are looking.
