   Are astronomers time travellers?

   • Astronomers are time travellers – they look way back in time, when the Universe was born. They observe light coming from stars, planetary systems and galaxies which have been just formed for us, on Earth. But in reality, it takes so much time for the light to reach us on Earth, that by the time it does, some of those objects may not exist anymore.
