Looking into space is like looking back into the past. The deeper we look into space, the further we look back in time. The light we see from a star on the other side of our galaxy was emitted about 100,000 years ago - when we were still sitting in caves and hurling clubs.

A late greeting to everyone.

Asha, you are right. My lecturer always say that, when we are looking into the night sky, we are actually looking at billions of time machines, which allow us to look into past.

Hello everyone! I'm sort of a new gal in this group and also in astronomy.

I like to ask what do you guys mean when you say that "looking into space is looking back into time"?

Thanks! :>

The speed of light is roughly 300 000 km/sec. We see things when we receive light from an object - therefore it takes finite amount of time to reach us (30cm is 1 nanosec i.e. 10^-9 sec). Everything one sees is in the past. The light we receive from the sun is already 8 minutes old.

Therefore, looking into space is looking into the past.

Hope this helps.

The speed of light is 300,000 km per second, but in space all distances are enormous. It takes light about 4 years to cross the space to our neighbouring star.
Eg. Andromeda galaxy is our nearest neighbour - 'only' 1.5 million light years away. Eg: When andromeda emits light today( at a point in time ), it would take 1.5 million light years to get here. What we are looking at today from andromeda would be stuff which happened 1.5 million light years ago.
Its light set off when the first human-like creature walked on two legs!So when we look into the remote corners of our Universe, we see what happened a very long time ago. Therefore looking into space is looking back into time. Hope this gives you a clearer picture.

Recently, I started to star-gaze and I've found Orion, Auriga, Gemini, etc. some that is around that area. But since I couldn't travel far at night, all I see is these constellation. I view these only from the east side of Singapore. So I like to ask, in order to view other constellations, such as the Big Dipper, do I need to travel overseas? Or is it possible to see it if I change my position to the west side?
