Just think the light from the sun only takes 8 mins to reach earth...............that's almost close enough to reach out and touch in astronomical terms. Mind you dont burn your fingers though.

How long does it take the reflected sunlight to get from the moon (sorry i mean Selene) to earth?

I'm gonna guess about 5 seconds.

Strange thinking that for all we know, Andromeda galaxy may not even exist. It could have just gone away in the last million years and we would have no idea
