Part I. Lookback Time to Andromeda 1. Use the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy (2.4x10km) and the speed of light to determine the look back time to the galaxy 2.506 years SAVE & CHECK VIEW CORRECT ANSWER Correct Show your work distance velocity x time 2.4 x 10^19km/3.0 x 10^5 km/s = 8.0x10^13 sec = 2.5x10^6 SAVE Saved 2. Put this into context by thinking about and looking up) what was happening on Earth when the light we see from M31 was emitted. There was spotted various novae in Andromeda, and was accused of it being a separate galaxy. Also, was described as a 'small cloud SAVE Saved PLAY ACTIVITY
