When ever I see a space picture the only thing I can think about is this picture is old, very very old.
We are looking at the far past of that spot in space.
It's like if aliens look at planet earth and see its pictures from millions of years ago. They would only see a ball of gas or a primitive planet occupide with dinosaurs.
That's why we, humans and aliens, don't know each other.
It's really fascinating when you think about it. Who knows, maybe someday it will be possible for us to witness the creation of the universe/big bang.
Sometimes, I ponder the possibility that all aliens might be hiding from something, and those who weren't hidden ended up getting destroyed. It's an intriguing thought to consider. 🥶
But I'm more interested to see the present.
If we can somehow capture the pictures we can see what it currently looks like, if there are habitable planets, if there's water and clean air out there, if modern literate aliens have been developed on those planets.
All we see now is the past, and it's not as helpful as present.
There are so many fascinating possibilities. I hope we get some important answers in our lifetime.
