What tools do we (mankind) use to discern what happened ‘400 light-years away? It’s difficult for me to even imagine such a measure of space. Fascinating, though.

I’ve heard two of the biggest space based telescopes in the entire world are owned by NASA.
A. Hubble Space Telescope, with a diameter of 2.5 mtr,
B. James Webb Space Telescope with a diameter of 6.5 mtr.

Unexpected radio signals included a broadcast of “Fibber McGee and Molly”, featuring Molly shouting “No, Fibber, not that hall closet—“, followed by a tremendous cacophony.

If it's 400 light years away are we not looking back into time at something that occurred eons ago?

Isn't that a bit like watching dinosaurs roam the earth thousands of years ago... it's simply a RE-RUN that we CANNOT change.

I know.. some would say what we could learn from it may be valuable. I'd say.. "what can we learn from our current mistakes?"... the answer, at present, seems to be "NOT MUCH!"
