I watch a lot on the science channel about space and I wonder when they show computer generated models of our galaxy and the local cluster are they taking into account the shift in position due to the varying amount of time it takes light from different stars to reach earth.<br /><br />I hope this question makes sense. But it seems to me that what we see especially of our own galaxy is distorted by the amount of time it takes for the light from distant stars to reach us and therefore a model showing the stars relative positions should be adjusted to take this into account. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em><font size="2">Bob DeWoody</font></em> </div>
