Because of the finite speed of light, when you gaze up into the night sky, you are looking into the past. The bright star Sirius is 8.6 light years away. That means the light hitting your eye tonight has been traveling for 8.6 years. ... When you look at that star tonight, you see it as it was at the time of your birth.
when I look into the stars I think of many different things I think about how lovely the stars are, I look back in life, I wonder how stars were formed in the first place, the stars just amaze me when I look at them, they make me feel comfortable and cozy when I look at them
