Hypothetically speaking, if I were positioned on a distant planet, some 10 million light years from earth, and was equipped with a telescope thrice as powerful as, let's say, the Hubble Telescope, could the below happen?
Let's assume that this telescope is so powerful that it could magnify to a degree that would let me identify a tree on planet earth. Now, since light travels at such an odd pace, could I possibly train my scope on earth and catch a glimpse of a prehistoric creature, or actually view terra firma in its early stages; possibly pre-moon? Just curious.
