That’s just a clever way of saying that there is a finite time for light to travel to us. It’s become very fashionable to refer to telescopes as time machines, but that’s a bit lame-we have no control over the time that we “visit,” and it only works in the past, not the future. After saying that due to the time it takes light to cross the vast distances in space, light from distant objects must reach us long after it was produced, Tyson indicates telescopes are a sort of time machine.Ĭommenting on the virtual time travel qualities of the telescope, Answers in Genesis astronomer Dr.
Sir William Herschel, the father of stellar astronomy-a devout Christian who saw the hand of our Creator in His stellar handiwork ( Psalm 19:1)-is credited with realizing that some stars seen from Earth may, because it takes time for starlight to travel great distances, be only “ghosts” of dead, burned out stars.
