Ok tell me if i understand this correctly:
Object A is emitting light
Object B is moving away from it at half the speed of light (constant speed)
Object C is stationary
Object B and C are 5 light years away from Object A (B just passes C as the light is initially emitted)
the light will reach both Object B and C at the same time even though 5 years later when it does arrive at object B object C is 2.5 light years away from Object B. (i assume this is only from the perspective of Object B cause the light is not really there yet)
I hope i got it wrong cause that's crazy. Why did i pick up this damn book?
