When we look into space, we are not seeing objects as they are now but rather as they were in the past, because light takes time to travel; for example, we see the Moon 1.3 seconds ago, the Sun 8 minutes ago, and distant stars hundreds to millions of years ago, making space essentially a time machine that reveals the history of the universe.

You’re Looking Backwards in Time Every NightAjouté :
People think when they look into space… they’re looking across distance.
But they’re not.
They’re looking backward in time. Because light takes time to travel.
That means nothing in the universe is seen as it is RIGHT NOW.
Not the Moon. Not the Sun.
Not even the stars above you. When you look at the Moon… you’re seeing it 1.3 seconds in the past. The Sun?
About 8 minutes ago. Some stars you see at night?
Their light started traveling toward Earth hundreds… Thousands… even millions of years ago. So when telescopes look deeper into space… they’re actually looking further into the past. The James Webb Space Telescope isn’t just exploring distant galaxies. It’s looking back toward the beginning of the universe itself.
Which means space isn’t really space. It’s a time machine.
And every night when you look up you’re literally watching history.
