Last time I was out with the scope, I took a peak at 253. It’s VERY large and bright.

Of course you saw it as it was about ten million years ago, as it took that long for the light/image we see today to arrive here. I know you know you this, but others may not realize it.

Well Yes.

A Telescope is a time machine. You can look into the past and only see what was. Even the stuff that is close to us (even in the solar system) is time delayed.
