Hi everyone. I'm not an expert, so forgive me for my ignorance. My question is, if we can see a star that is 13 billion light years away, we see the light of this star as it was 13 billion years ago right? So, if we see a star 13 billion light years away and 13 billion years ago, does it mean that this star was 13 billion light years away 13 billion years ago? I don't know if I explained it right, and my english is not so good, but I hope somebody understands. Thanks!!
