...it is located 39.6 light-years from the Sun...
At 39.6 light years distant, we are seeing what was happening there eons ago (86,000 MPS x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365) and it may have changed completely by now. That little red star may have even burned out!
Nah, probably what was happening 39.6 years ago unless an eon is roughly 19.8 years long.
It’s not eons ago. It’s 40 years ago.
