>>12769726>We see stars as they were millions of years agoI can see where you're coming from, OP. I'd say we can't because we'd need need to have a super high tech photon detector capable of covering an enormous area and compensating for doppler effect and ray scattering for one, plus we would need to be extremely far away. Think if you'd want to take a picture of something from 100 years ago, we'd need our super high tech light detector 100 light years away from Earth.
