Is the Black Eye galaxy moving toward away or neither from Earth?

The Black Eye Galaxy [See Link] has a redshift of 0.001361, so it is moving away from us. Currently at 24 million light years from Earth


What is the distance. Of range of visible light?

The galaxy MACS0647-JD is 13.3 billion light-years away from the Earth and was visible to the Hubble Space Telescope.


What galaxy does planet earth belongs to?

Our solar system is not far from the end of one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Our sun is about 26 or 27 thousand light years from the galactic center, and the galaxy is about 70 to 100 thousand light years across. See link for more information.See link for pictorial representation.


When you see a galaxy 8 billion light-years away you are looking how many years into the past?

When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye left that galaxy 8 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then. If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know that it actually exploded or turned blue 8 billion years ago. Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another 8 billion years from tonight.


How long does light from stars except the sun take to get to earth?

The furthest star would be in the furthest galaxy. [See related question] That is about 12.9 billion light years from us - and probably accelerating away from us. So light would take 12.9 billion years to reach us. This is just the farthest galaxy we know of, considering the universe is bigger than what our cameras can pick up. Considering a common belief is that the universe is infinite.
