It probably has to do with the light years. Since it would probably take years for the light to reach there. Hum... How would I explain this... I'd guess that seeing how the distance of the star is so great that it would take the light to reach it 100 years, that from our current moment it would also take it 100 years to reach there so we can only see it from what it would look like 100 years ago. I think I got it.
In other words, since the light takes 100 years to reach the planet from the current moment, we can only see the light that reached it 100 years ago, therefor we can only see what it was like 100 years ago. This is very arguable since that would also impose that the further you are from the sun, the slower time goes. So ya, this is in my opinion a highly unstable argument, but thats because it's really only an opinion I made of the subject in 5 minutes after hearing a bit of the theory. I seem to be able to do things like this easily... I haven't the slightest clue why..

I pity the fool who thinks a terabyte isn't alot of space, 'cause I highly doubt that they're willing to write atleast 8 trillion one's... I'm going to be off for a while due to tests. Cya later.
