Light from the most distant individual stars we can see with the naked eye has been traveling for thousands of years .

By the time it reaches us that star may not even exist anymore.

The farthest farthest star ever detected, Earendel , is 28 billion light years away.

The Sun is only 4.6 billion years through its roughly 10-billion-year lifetime.

away was looking at Earth through a telescope that's powerful enough, they could be seeing the dinosaurs.
