Million,
billion light years away, still moving away!
Yea
stars, object in other galaxies moving away
The
universe is expanding with the space in between
The
stars, galaxies expanding causing that moving away
Within
a galaxy nothing moves away from each other
As
gravity takes control, overcomes the expansion super
Yet
expansion takes control in far off galaxies
Like
a rubber band elongated pushing the points apart, yes
For
a million parsec away star,object the expansion 70 kms per second
Parsec
around 3 light years multiplied by million multiplied by 360 seconds
Multipled
by 34 hours for a day multiplied by 365 days for a year oops!
That’s
a whopping distance to calculate that much the moving away alas!
The
more moving further away of already farther away star
Will
make the light reach still more later than before
That’s
the beauty, reality of the expansion of the universe
Sure
a headache, effort to track down the stars afresh
The
point to keep in mind by the astronomers, star gazers
To
prepare for the slipping away, stars, galaxies
Still
make sense by tracking observing the cosmic bodies
That’s
all about astronomy, star gazing grand stories!
