Answer:

Time Travel Machine

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hubble Space Telescope can look at galaxies that are many light years away. If it captured an image of a star that was 5 light years away, then that means it took light 5 years to reach the lens of the telescope. So, the image we see is what that star looked like 5 years ago. In other words, it is a glimpse of the past.
