The light from the nearer edge of galaxies reach us tens or hundreds of 
thousands of years sooner that the light from the farther edge. With this 
in mind why don't we see,for example, a structure in the nearer section of 
a galaxy and in this same photograph an older version of that exact same 
structure in the farther section as well. This question has bugged me for 
years. Thanks for your time.....Gary
