Different Simultaneity for telescopes in space and earth?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the implications of Lorentz transformations on simultaneity as observed by telescopes in space versus those on Earth. It establishes that while two events may appear simultaneous in one reference frame, they will not necessarily be simultaneous in another due to the effects of relativistic time dilation. The calculation provided indicates that for distant transient sources, the time difference observed by a space telescope compared to Earth is negligible, approximately 10 seconds for a distance of 100 Mpc. Ultimately, the discussion clarifies that telescopes, regardless of their motion relative to each other, will observe distant objects in the same state at the time of observation, accounting for light travel time.

I was just wondering. According to Lorentz transformations, if two events are simultaneous in one reference frame, they will generally not be simultaneous in another.
The time difference that I get between the two events in the other reference frame is

\Delta t^{`} = \gamma\beta\Delta x \approx {\Large \frac{\beta^{3}}{2}} \Delta x

Where the approximation assumes \beta \ll 1

Now, for space born objects \beta \approx 3 \cdot 10^{-5} so

\Delta t^{`} \approx 10^{-14} \Delta x where \Delta x is in light time.

If one takes a distance of 100 Mpc then \Delta t^{`} \approx 10 sec

So If I have two distant transient sources that give a signal at more or less the same time on earth, a space telescope will observe them at a noticeable time difference?

No. You can never observe distant sources as they are "simultaneously" to the observation due to light travel time. Telescopes at the same event in motion wrt each other will observe distant objects in the same state (modulo redshifts and aberration).
 
Thanks For the reply.

I see now that I mixed up the times that the telescopes will assign to the events themselves ( the time that the sources output the signal) which will be different And the time of observation, which will be the same.
