Oddly enough it is. 2 million miles an hour is roughly 555 miles a second. A fraction of the speed of light. If that object was at the distance of the sun it would take 46 hours for it to reach us. Space is fukking huge.
nikkas dont even realize how fast light moves.

Thats whats fukking nuts.

The speed of light is 670,616,629 miles per hour :wow:

Yes, i just made that point to these clowns that dont know shyt about outer space. Imagine looking up seeing a ball of death coming towards us realizing in 30 years its going to kill you no matter what. The world would be chaos.
What blows your mind is that the shyt you're seeing...AINT EVEN THERE.

Can you not type up cryptic sentences that cause me to have to ask you wtf you're talking about.


what we are "seeing" happened a very long time ago...hence what we "see" is no longer existing the way we saw it.

this is because we can only see things once light comes to us from the event.
if me and you were in a room together neither of us would see each other as we actually are but rather as we were when light bounced off of us and then entered our eyes.

apply this to a cosmic scale...we don't see the sun as it was until 8 minutes later when the light from it reaches us.

I'm saying that when we're looking at stars that are super far away, its because the stars and galaxies aren't where the light is coming from. We're literally looking into the past.

What most people don't know, is that our solar system is traveling 515,000 mph through the Milky Way :damn:


But as far as stars actually hitting each other, that rarely happens. That's how large space is, even if this globular cluster was heading right towards us, it would just pass through the milky way like a ghost. It is possible that the orbits of the planets could be affected, ifs something big enough came by. :damn:

And Yes, you would be able to see it coming for a long time before it happened.

I see but if a star is on its way to earth, you'll be seeing the future, at all times. The glimmer and flicker of light may be in the past but its still on its way.
