Andromeda Is a Window Into the Past
The Andromeda Galaxy is so far away that its light takes about 2.5 million years to reach us. When you look at it tonight, you are not seeing it as it is now. You are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago. The light entering your eyes began its journey when some of our earliest ancestors were walking the Earth.
💛 Cosmo says
Some of the light reaching you has been travelling since before your story began.
