Light is fast, but it still needs time to travel to your eyes. So more distant the object, the longer it takes.

This means you never see the real present but always a mixture of past states, depending on how far the things you see are away from you.

That is largely meaningless in "Speed of light" terms. Light travels at 186,000 miles per SECOND!

Sure it doesn't matter much in daily life but it's still an interesting thought imho.

And if you take a minute in a clear night and just look up, you'll see objects where it matters. Some of the stars up there are long gone.... Others been born but you can't see them yet
