I was thinking a similiar thing last night when I read this news. What we observed through the Hubble telescope now about the Andromeda Galaxy happened 2.5 millions years ago. What is it actually doing right now? Is it still alive?
- pc86 10y agoOn an astrological scale isn't 2.5 million years a very, very short period of time?
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoYes. Our own galactic 'year' is 250 million years (the time it takes to rotate in place once). So 2.5 million years is about a galactic day (or maybe a weekend).
- yitchelle 10y agoWow, I feel so small, physically and temporally!
