Care to explain how the star is going to break warp 0.9?

No. Luckily that is not what I am claiming : ) Although I have read some serious hypothesis that make the claim that the speed of light was faster just after the big bang.

I am simply trying to explain that the apparent position (where you see them) of celestial objects is different from their actual position. I never would have guessed that this simple concept would be so hard to explain. I now have even more sympathy for Giordano Bruno.

What is the maximum separation between the apparent position and the actually position?

Is it possible for a stars actual position to be 180 degrees from its apparent position?
