Can we look at our own past?

2 pointsby bloodfirealmost 2 years ago
Hi! I don’t have specific skills in Astrology but I wanted to put an idea out there anyway. I start with something we often hear when we hear about the James Webb Telescope: we look into the past.<p>My question would be: can we look at a mirror-like entity far deep in space in order to be able to get a picture of Earth but as it was millions years ago? Even if it’s only about its composition or its position in the universe that would be surely interesting.

If there was some mirror already out there then we could use it like such. If we sent a mirror away at the speed of light for 1000 years (which is faster than we can send a <i>mirror</i>) then 2000 years from now we could look back at the mirror and see <i>the time we sent the mirror away</i>.
