Travelling At Speed Of Light

Sunlight takes about 8 minutes, 19 seconds to reach Earth
The Light We Are Seeing From nearest Star Is Of Atleast more Than Four Years Ago.Many Stars Are So Far Away that If Someone Standing On One Star Which is 65 million Light Years Away And Look At Earth ,Then They Would see The Light that Left At The Time of The Dinosaurs Become extinct.
If We See From a Distance Of 4.7 Billion Light Years Could Watch The Solar System Being Forming.And From 13.5 Billion Years We Could Watch the Big Bang!!
Light Year is a measure of Distance in Space its The Distance Traveled By Light In One Year.
ImaginImagine If We Could Travel At Speed Of light !! Then We Can be In Mars In Approximately 3 minutes, 13.25 seconds!!
Here Are The Details Of Time Taken By Light To Reach Earth !
From                                                                      Light Reaches Earth in
Moon                                                                    1.26 seconds
sun                                                                        8 min 17 Seconds
Saturn                                                                   1.43 Hours   
Pluto ,The Farthest Planet                                      5 hours 20 min
Nearest Star                                                          4.22 Years
Distance At Which the sun Would No                    60 Years
Longer Be visible To Naked Eye    
Distant Star In our Galaxy                                     62,700 Years
Distant Visible Star                                               2,309,000 Years
Most Distant Quasar                                            14,000,000,000 Years

Astronomers Say they have Found oldest Galaxy

Astronomers Believe That They Have Found the oldest thing ever seen in the universe,It's A Galaxy Far away From us,From a lont time ago.

A team Of European Astronomers Have Managed to Calculate the oldest And Farthest Galaxy in the universe after Analysing the hidden small smudge of light in a Photograph by
Hubble Telescope earlier This year.
It was now the Farthest Thing ever know To man which was Estimated to be Formed around 13.7 billion years ago.Scientists say that the light was from the time when The universe was very young,Just 600 million years old.
The Galaxy was temporarly named by a sequence of Letter and digits ,"UDFy-38135539".
The European astronomers calculated the age after 16 hours of observations from a telescope in Chile that looked at light signatures of cooling hydrogen gas.
Earlier this year, astronomers had made a general estimate of 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang for the most distant fuzzy points of light in the Hubble photograph, which was presented at an astronomy meeting back in January.
The Light coming from The Galaxy might Be from the ages of Early big bang which is carrying some Valuable Information about the formation of universe and stars.ofcourse We are not sure that Galaxy may still be of its Earlier Form ,it may be Transformed into Bigger one or it just collapsed.
This Would be an useful finding for astrnomers to find and answer the various Questions on when The first Stars and Galaxies are formed.
