The answer depends on 800 WHAT! 800 seconds, minutes, years?
Approximately, yes. When you get to a period like 30+ years and you are trying to be accurate to a second, you need to allow for leap years.
There are exactly 8 minutes in 8 ... minutes.
60*24*7*52*8 that many or... 1 year = 525,948.766 minutes 8 years = 4,207,590.128 minutes more accurate answer is: 60*24*365=525,600min every 4 years we get 1 extra day: 525,600*4+60*24=2,102,400+1,440=2,103,840min 8 years is 2 times 4 years = 4,207,680min
When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, you are observing it as it was 8 billion years ago because light takes time to travel across such vast distances.

When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye left that galaxy 8 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then. If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know that it actually exploded or turned blue 8 billion years ago. Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another 8 billion years from tonight.
The answer depends on 800 WHAT! 800 seconds, minutes, years?
Perhaps 7 to 8 billion years.
The best guess is that our solar system is about 8 billion years old.
When taking a picture of galaxies that are 10 billion light years away, you are seeing them as they were 10 billion years ago due to the time it takes for light to travel that distance. This means you are observing them in the distant past, providing a glimpse into the early stages of the universe.
Approximately, yes. When you get to a period like 30+ years and you are trying to be accurate to a second, you need to allow for leap years.
Yes, a redshift of 1 does equal to a light travel distance of nearly 8 billion years (i.e. 7.7 billion years).
About 8 light-minutes.
