Actually EVERYTHING you see is how it used to look. Some of it looks like it did a fraction of a second ago and in the case of the Eagle Nebula what we see happened about 7000 years ago. I’m in awe every time I look into the night sky and realize I’m looking back in time! We’ll never know what the universe currently looks like because the scale only allows us to see what it did look like. Truly mind boggling.
And of course those "some" things would be anything within 186,000 miles, as that is how far light travels in a second. It takes light about 1-1/4 seconds to get to us from the moon. Of the 8 planets, Venus gets the closest at 23-25 million miles (when it is between the Sun and Earth). That's about 2 light minutes. The nearest star, outside of the Sun, is about 50 trillion miles, or 4-1/3 light years away. The Sun, at around 93 million miles, is 8 light minutes from Earth.
