sooooooo if the sun blew up or turned off right now, it would take 8 minutes for us to notice.

You most was watching one of those The Universe Doc's apparently it takes photons around 8 minutes to reach earth

if they build telescope miles away from earth...the pics would come back with u sitting in a cell like wallo

The James Web telescope is a million miles from the earth and this is why tomorrow we will have our 1st glimpse at very deep space. Some even say this telescope might see so far all the way back to the origins of the big bang

How do you know? Because they told you?

No, but the gravitation pull from the sun that holds our planet in place and causes it to spin would cease immediately, thus killing everyone and everything on this planet immediately. The light from the event wouldn't reach our point in space for 8 minutes. Thus, the space dust would see it, but none of us will.

Jupiter would hold us into place.

No gravity has a speed too. And it's the speed of light. Google it

Enlighten us then

Can we see before the Big Bang ?

Did y'all know in 2542 the sun will explode? Scary shyt

if the sun blew up we'd be fukking dead...

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

I have 20/20 vision. Once it goes dark, I just have to wait a few minutes for my eyes to adjust. Then I will be able to see again.

How can you see something if there's nothing to see

Personally I don't believe we'll ever see the true size of the universe. It's so vast light from the beginning of time hasn't even crossed it yet

Um no, Jupier is not close enough to earth for that. Anyways when the sun dies it will swell up into a supernova which means it will grow out to be as big as at least out to Jupiters orbit if not bigger. The sun will swallow what's left of earth after vaporizing it.

It depends I guess... like what type of explosion it is, like a supernova, nah we'd burn up and be incinerated in minutes...
