Therefore, the image of the sun in the sky outside your window at this moment is actually what the sun looked like about eight minutes ago.

looking at stars is more futuristic because most of those stars we see now are dead, there so far away they will keep showing there light for thousands of years to come ^.^ also it probably isnt a good idea to look at the sun lol
