when telescopes look back at the start of the universe ( approx 13 billion years ) are we looking at ourselves ( or what would become the milkyway ) back then as well ?
In: Physics
No, we are looking at other galaxies some distance away. They are just far enough away that the light from them have taken 13 billion years to travel that distance at the speed of light. So we see them as they would have been 13 billion years ago.
