[Munch's Master]

I agree with what Adder says, and what AlphaScrab says, that's pretty much what I believe happens if you can get the conundrum Mitsur suggested. And adding on what AS said about seeing the sun's past, the same holds true with the stars. Some of them will have burnt up by now, but they're so far away some of the light they gave off is only reaching our planet now, so you're seeing light/stars from thousands or maybe millinos of years ago. Therefore there are probably newer stars which we can't yet see, as their light hasn't traveled across the vast distances of space to our planet yet.
