Yet we may be the best of the lot. Unless you'd rather be a rock on Mars. Behold the uniqueness of what we have on this miracle of a planet. It's even beautiful millions of miles away. (to our limited senses, of course)

And yes, you are right; it takes millions of years for that “light” to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull and travel to Earth. Once it escapes it gets here in 8.3 seconds or so. Light must love getting away after such a long gestation.

I’m actually talking about shutter speed. Like holding it open Long enough with aid of a tripod to accumulate time and light so that it can be burned onto film to where you can see things that can’t be seen at the speed of light by the naked eye. But I’m just a time traveler from 1977.

Capturing time on a photo still amazes me. Capturing the accumulated light blows my mind.
