This is actually one of those mind blowing things.

When you look into space with a telescope, you’re seeing the way it looked when light left that area. So depending on how far out you’re looking, you’re directly seeing deeper and deeper into the past.

It’s like obvious but also 🤯

Coolest gift we have ever bought the family has been our 10" Dobsonian telescope (get the 8" if you don't have a decent sized truck/SUV - then ten is a choker). We were able to see the rings on Saturn two weekends ago - absolutely mind bending for us normies who spend most of our time seeing digital representations of space objects
