What's weird is, you're also seeing the future, as every second of starlight is newer than the last.
at 9:00:59 pm you look at a star for one second, the light you are seeing was released 1 million years ago, at 9:01:00 you watch for another second, that light was released 1 million years ago minus 1 second … it's newer light
this goes to the root of how we're taught to think. like weather people always talk in terms of high pressure arriving, but the same phenomena could be described in terms of low pressure departing
hard to describe
