Amateur. In a dark location, on a clear night, I can see the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.3 million light years away.
Smh you say on a dark place but then you say light years. If the whole year is light then how do you expect anyone to see if it has to be dark?
It's a timey-whimey thing.
Oh yeah, well I can see your mom. 2.3 million light years away. Because she's fat.
How fat is she?
She's so fat that I'm genuinely concerned for her health.
Shes so fat im concerned for the higgs fields' health
She’s so fat I can see what’s behind her
She's so fat that observers are really mostly seeing what she used to look like.
💖
She's so fat that we're worried her and the sun will form a binary star system.
I suppose we can calculate a minimum, if we look up the smallest angle of resolution for human eyes, and approximate her as spherical.
Just fat enough 😋
Pretty fat yo
Well, fat at least
Fuckin' got them! Nice.
You can't see my mom, she's dead.
She's 2.3 million light years away. We're seeing her in the past.
Of course she's dead, she's in space...
But since the sun is 93 millions miles away it's further because the number is bigger
No you see some infinites are bigger than other. So light year is basically a larger infinity than millions. There's a YouTube video about, look it up 👍
/s (you never know these days)
Triangulum Galaxy is a smidge farther away (~2.7Mly) and also naked eye visible with the right sky conditions and good eyes.
I dont think 400000 times light can travel in a year of difference is "slightly further away"
What's a few hundred thousand light years between friends?
Looks like a smudge until you unfocus your eyes anyway.
You're not really seeing it, though, your seeing it's distant past
If you're going down that road, you're never seeing anything in its present form because even for an object a meter in front of you, all you're really seeing is the object as it existed nano seconds in the past. Hows is a nano second in the past different from years in the past?
My back says there's a difference
Well its shorter
