[QUOTE="chris, post: 2756015, member: 208377"] Light travels at 670,616,629 miles per hour, so in one hour it has gone that distance. Say you're 100,000,000,000,000 miles away from an object you are looking at. If you do that calculation: 100,000,000,000,000 miles / 670,616,629 miles per hour = 149,116 hours. The light you see from that distance took 149,116 hours to reach you, so what you see is 149,116 hours in the past. [/QUOTE]
