Next time you are in daylight, step outside and realise this :- the light you are seeing is made up of photons. These photons originated on the sun and have traveled for 8 min over a distance of 93 million miles of space at the speed of... well light, and entered your eye, hitting your retina causing you to see!! Just think about that, photos from the sun, traveling 93 million miles and ending their journey at the back of your eye?
Now step out during into the night and realise that photons from those stars, that are millions of lights years away, are also ending their journey in your eye! Think about it. Every single moment you have particles (or waves) from the stars hitting you, photos that are millions and millions of years old.
We truly are star people!!
