Hindsight

We all know that we can get a star named after us or someone we know as a gift on sites like Star Registry and Name a Star.

It blows my mind that some stars are so far away that, by the time the light they emitted hits our retina, they are no longer in existence, as it took those rays light-years to travel that distance.

So really you could be naming a dead star. Posthumous recognition is so sad.

Not seeing something until it's long gone. Yeah, i relate.
