Just a thought- If the light from those galaxies took 60 million years to reach us, are they still there, and if so, how do they appear today?
That’s an interesting and (I mean this in a good way) obvious question! So “obvious” I have never heard it posed before!
For all the time it takes sunlight to get here, we still can use “current” solar weather predictions to predict weather and other phenomenon here on earth.
Maybe an astronomer will happen by to shed light on this. No pun intended.
I’m no astronomer but I can say that 60 million years is just a blip in the life of a Galaxy. Think of what is said to have been happening on earth 60 million years ago. And our star, a star on the outer strand of the Milky Way Galaxy is said to be billions of years old, and our Galaxy to be ten billion + years old. From the moment God spoke the quantum foam into existence, to the condensation of quarks and sub-atomic particles, the universe inflated at greater than the speed of light, so the locations where stars and galaxy have formed is more than light years from where it all began.
