Why an explosion 100 light years away can be seen?

An explosion that occurs 100 light years away can be seen on Earth because light travels at a finite speed, so it takes time for the light from the explosion to reach us. Since the speed of light is finite, any event that occurs in the universe will have a delay in when we see it on Earth, depending on its distance.


How many years is 100 lightyears?

600 quadrillion. =================== I get 5.878 x 1017 miles. Is that the same order of magnitude ? ===================Well 1 light year is 9.46*1012 km. So 100000 light is 9.46*1017 km. 1 mile is 1.6 km. Hence 9.46*1017 km is 5.9*1017 miles. So the second contributor is correct.


How far from a supernova do you have to be to be safe?

About 50 to 100 light-years as the closest safe distance between Earth and a supernova. But, if a supernova to go off within about 30 light-years of us, that would lead to major effects on the Earth, possibly mass extinctions.


How many billions of light years away can you see with the largest telescope?

Something like 14 billion light years. That's a great distance compared to the length of my kitchen. But we don't know how big it is compared to the size of the whole universe, because we don't know how much farther past that the universe extends.
