The Night Sky You Navigate By Is a Cosmic Crime Scene
Those stars guiding your way? Many of them are already dead. The light traveling to your eyes left its source hundreds or thousands of years ago. That bright star on the eastern horizon might have exploded into a supernova centuries before your great-grandfather was born, but its death notice hasn't reached you yet. You're navigating by ghosts, steering your life by the memory of suns that no longer exist. !nb
