Ok so i was watching it the other day and they show'd a picture from the hubble telescope of a planet thats like hundreds of thousands of lightyears away and apparently that planet was destroyed like 200 million years ago but we can still see it b/c it takes light longer to reach us. For example If the sun were to stop shining instantly, we wouldnt notice it for 8 minutes, b/c it takes light from the sun to reach the earth 8 minutes. Sooooo technically your looking back in time when you see stuff in space, which just kinda makes you think. sry for the rant just was so amazed at this.
