The Cosmic Time Machine. Astronomical telescopes can’t help viewing the past.. . Distance and time are always mixed in astronomical observations.. The finite speed of light means that we always see things after they have happened–a delay of 8 minutes for the Sun and about 12 billion years for the most distant galaxies we can observe. In other words,. Except for nearby, we can only see bright galaxies. I will ignore dwarf . spheroidal. (. dSph. ) and dwarf elliptical (. dE. ) classifications.
