"How do we know what we look like from 5 billion light years away?"

From 5 billion light years away, we look like a gleam in God's eye.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

I remember reading a sci fi story of a planet about to get annihilated by another smaller, incoming white planet. Everyone on the planet that was about to get hit was scrambling to get aboard thousands of rockets to take off. Just before impact of the white planet, all the rockets left and headed out to space. the next scene was a boy yelling to his friend who caught his baseball throw. He said, “hows the old mitt?” The other boy replied, “Not bad, but a lot of dust flew off of it.” He then took the white baseball and threw it back to his friend.”
