Telescope Buying Guide

Jeep asked:


When you look into the sky, you don’t see galaxy next to galaxy. You see star next to star.

Even if you had a telescope, you would *still* see star next to star. So how is it possible, that this Hubble telescope sees galaxy next to galaxy?

Bit confusing…

Noname asked:


Forgive my ignorance at this.
If the hubble space telescope is seeing the early universe from billions of light years away, is our galaxy traveling at almost the speed of light away from the point where big bang occurred?

for example:
an explosion or a black hole was detected by hubble from around 14 billion light years away and our galaxy was already at this point(here). So we are seeing what is happening at 14 billion years ago at yet our galaxy must have came from that part where the explosion begins..

Sorry bout that, can’t explain further.
