      • Light travels only one way: in a straight line. But the path it takes from Point A to Point B is always a waveform, with higher-energy light traveling in shorter wavelengths. Photons, which are tiny parcels of energy, have been traveling across the universe since they first exploded from the Big Bang.

  1. May 19, 2016 · So how does light travel? Basically, traveling at incredible speeds (299 792 458 m/s) and at different wavelengths, depending on its energy.

    • How far does light go? how long does light go. - Jason (age 11) A: Hi Jason, Light just keeps going and going until it bumps into something.
    • less than one photon? Can light intensity reduce to a level where it's energy is less than 1 photon (probably after travelling an almost infinite distance from a point source)?
    • stars too far away to see? does there is any star that we can can't get it's light because of itis farness?...... sorry with having any problems in my English gramer, my English language is not good enough.
    • light going out to space. If we are reflections of light, does that reflection make it out into space and keeps traveling til its asorbed.
  2. Hubble works by gathering light from objects in our universe – some as close as our Moon, and some as distant as galaxy clusters that are billions of light-years away. All that light takes time to reach the telescope, just as it takes time for light to travel from its source to our eyes.

  3. Mar 21, 2013 · This artist's animation depicts the "life" of a photon, or particle of light, as it travels across space and time, from the very early universe to the Planck satellite.

  4. Feb 18, 2024 · One of the most intriguing questions surrounding light is why it can travel through space. To unravel this mystery, we must delve into the realm of physics and explore the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of light. At its core, light is an electromagnetic wave.

  5. As the light from the universe’s most distant galaxies travels through space, it’s stretched by the expansion of space. By the time the light reaches Earth, that stretching process has transformed short wavelengths of visible and ultraviolet light into the longer wavelengths of infrared light.

  6. Apr 24, 2017 · The question of how light travels through space is one of the perennial mysteries of physics. In modern explanations, it is a wave phenomenon that doesn't need a medium through which to propagate. According to quantum theory, it also behaves as a collection of particles under certain circumstances.
