Well, that light doesn&rsquo;t travel instantaneously. It moves incredibly fast, sure, but it&rsquo;s not <em>instant</em>. And because the universe is so unbelievably vast, that tiny bit of travel time really starts to add up!</p> <p>Think about it: the light from our very own Sun takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach your eyes. So, when you see the Sun, you&rsquo;re actually seeing it as it was over eight minutes ago. If the Sun suddenly vanished right this second, we wouldn&rsquo;t even know it happened for another 8 minutes and 20 seconds!</p>
