It’s only 127 light years away. Maybe the president will vacation there next.

Its only 127 light years away. In astronomical terms, it's just down the block.

"In astronomical terms, it's just down the block."Yes, that's VERY close by. What we are seeing there is pretty close to being in 'real time' in a galactic sense.

We know they were there 127 years ago, anyway. They could have been obliterated by now to make way for a galactic highway.

Doesn’t say that any of the planets resemble Earth, in fact none of them do if they are Neptune-like.

So in theory, if a big ass telescope from that system was pointed at Earth they could have watched the grand opening of the Brooklyn Bridge back in May? (May 25, 1883)
