Is 10,000 years or a million years for the photons to reach the surface?
Regardless, any image we have of the sun is how it looked 8.3 minutes ago.

No normal object can travel at the speed of light. If it did it's mass would increase precipitously and so would the energy needed to propel it. For we mere mortals we would need to have the time to see an object travel past us.
