Question about Hubble Photos..
while looking at the other thread about the hubble telescope pics, i began to wonder somthing, and it has bugged me for a couple days now. I am not sure how much sense that will make to most people, but in my strange little mind....
While looking at some of the pics i noticed that they listed one of them was 4000 light years away from earth. Since there has to light for a picture, and visions are made from light. Would that mean that the picture that was taken was actually 4000 years old? Since it took the light 4000 lightyears to get to us for us to me able to take the pic?
Does this make sense? i know its a stupid subject, but it has peaked my intrest.
