The light we see from Sun is about 8 1/2 minutes back into the past.

Wow man. The solar system could have been destroyed already and we haven’t seen it yet. Far out. Isn’t marijuana legalization combined with public education so entertaining.

Right. Light waves take some time to travel from their source to our eyes. Even if an event occurs a few feet away, we are seeing the past.

Looking at the stars at night and that is correct.
