Just a Healthy Reminder

Disclaimer: Photo not mine. I just found it on the internet.


I just want to remind everyone that in the evening when you look at the stars, you are actually looking back in time. The farthest stars that you see in the night sky are the stars that you may have seen long ago. But since light travels at a finite speed and cosmic distances are so vast that light takes a long time to reach us, thats why you only see them now.


Sounds pretty cool right?
So everytime you wish upon a star, you are actually a few million years late. The star might be dead, just like your wish.
