Amateur. In a dark location, on a clear night, I can see the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.3 million light years away.

You're not really seeing it, though, your seeing it's distant past

If you're going down that road, you're never seeing anything in its present form because even for an object a meter in front of you, all you're really seeing is the object as it existed nano seconds in the past. Hows is a nano second in the past different from years in the past?

My back says there's a difference
