Did you know that it takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light from the Sun to reach the Earth? This means that when we see the Sun, we are actually observing it as it was 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago. This time lag is due to the vast distance of approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) between the Earth and the Sun. (00:40)

But 200 years before LEDs were a multi-billion-dollar industry, and decades before Edison showed up, light bulbs were an idea just starting to enter the minds of curious scientists. (18:52)
