When you look into a mirror, it is a reflection of the past because of the time delay (light reflection from eyes - mirror - eyes). Similarly when you gaze into the sky through a telescope, if you're looking at a star that's 10 light-years away, the light you see left that star 10 years ago. And so I’ve always wondered, if we sent rockets to outer space 10 light-years away looking back at Earth (through a telescope), could we get a visible glance of history and set the records straight ?

I guess you’d have to travel faster than light to get there… so maybe haha!
The universe is mind boggling and beautiful. We understand so little. Daytime is for living in the moment. Enjoying the world we live on. Nighttime is for gazing and contemplating.
